Mary’s Center embraces all communities and provides high-quality healthcare, education, and social services to build better futures.
Mary’s Center believes the following values are essential to delivering high-quality services:
Mary’s Center is a community health center serving over 65,000 people of all ages, incomes, and backgrounds in the Washington, DC metro area for 35 years. With an integrated model of health care, education, and social services, Mary’s Center offers each participant individualized care on the path toward good health, stability, and economic independence.
We recognized early on that only caring for your physical health concerns was simply not enough. To put you and your family on a path toward good health, stability, and economic independence, we knew we had to look at every part of your life and offer the appropriate combination of healthcare, education, and social support. With this in mind, we developed our Social Change Model (SCM), which allows us to offer medical, dental, and behavioral health services for the entire family, along with social services and family literacy services – all under one roof.
The success of our model was further demonstrated by the final report of an evaluation that we solicited from the Urban Institute and analysis from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) which explains how this integrated approach has been shown to make people healthier.
We encourage you to take advantage of our many services as we believe there is more than one way we can help you improve your life and health.
