About Ruscombe Community
Since 1984, Ruscombe has served as a Community Health Center in Baltimore. The Ruscombe Community provides direct holistic integrative health services to families and individuals, together with educational programming and celebratory events in the beautiful historic setting of the Ruscombe Mansion. The non-profit organization Ruscombe Community, Inc. was established in 2023 as a 501(c)(3) with the intention of expanding our mission of individual healing into the community. Our mission is to preserve the historic mansion and produce community wellness programming for the public such as healthy cooking classes, mental health workshops and providing holistic services to the underserved.
Ruscombe Mansion (1903) was built by noted Maryland suffragist and social justice advocate Madeleine LeMoyne Ellicott and her husband, Charles E. Ellicott. In the late 1960’s and 1970’s, it became the home of a meditation and esoteric studies commune, where Dr. Robert Hieronimus established the AUM school, and the seeds of Waldorf School of Baltimore sprouted. In 1984, Dr. Zohara Hieronimus founded the Ruscombe Mansion Community Health Center, and in 2023 Ruscombe Community, Inc, a nonprofit organization, was formed to expand community health education outreach and programming.
