Baltimore, MD - Feb. 16, 2026 - After nearly five years of planning, the Alvin S. Mintzes Hatzalah of Baltimore M58 Loni Borck Memorial Garage is officially open and in service.
The garage is dedicated in memory of Loni Borck, one of Hatzalah of Baltimore’s original responders whose dedication and selflessness helped lay the foundation for the organization’s lifesaving mission. This facility ensures that his legacy continues with every call answered from this location.
The project originated from a shared vision and joint leadership effort between Suburban Orthodox and Hatzalah and was realized through broad collaboration and community support. Howard Brown and his team worked tirelessly to ensure that every logistical and operational detail was addressed.
The garage was made possible through community donations honoring Loni’s memory, along with vital matching funding secured with the assistance of Maryland State Senator Dalya Attar, State Delegate Shelly Hettleman, and State Delegate Dana Stein. Appreciation is also extended to Shul President Matt Schoenfeld, Yehudah Neuberger, and Shani Topper of SOTC for their partnership and support.
Hatzalah leadership also expresses its sincere gratitude to Meir Neuberger for generously donating his legal services and expertise, which were essential in bringing this project to completion.
The M58 Loni Borck Memorial Garage stands as a lasting tribute to a pioneering responder and a critical enhancement to Hatzalah’s ability to serve the Baltimore community.
