Mary’s Center embraces all communities and provides high-quality healthcare, education, and social services.
About us
Mary's Center, founded in 1988, is a Community Health Center that provides health care, family literacy and social services to individuals whose needs too often go unmet by the public and private systems. Mary's Center uses a holistic, multi-pronged approach to help each participant access individualized services that set them on the path toward good health, stable families, and economic independence. The Center offers high-quality, professional care in a safe and trusting environment to residents from the entire DC metropolitan region, including individuals from nearly 50 countries, through 8 locations. Mary's Center provides access to health care services regardless of participants' ability to pay. We owe our success to a strategy of linking health care to community-based support services while helping family members reach their education goals. We believe that individuals who are healthy and feel supported in their communities become better learners and are motivated to achieve greater economic stability. We have observed that stable families place more emphasis on the educational achievement of their children, thus strengthening the well-being--and health--of the next generation. We listen closely and carefully to our participants, and then work with them to create a customized prescription of services to help them attain good physical and mental health. We also work with participants to set attainable education goals that, once reached, will bolster their economic stability. Because the individuals and families we serve often face multiple life challenges, we use a social change model that addresses the many factors that lead to poor health such as poverty, limited education, and few job opportunities. By integrating and linking our own services with those offered by our community partners, we empower vulnerable families to lead healthy and productive lives. This comprehensive approach yields results. The mothers who come to us for prenatal care deliver babies with healthy birth weights. Participants with diabetes learn to control their blood sugar levels. Parents who attend our various programs increase involvement in their children's education and watch them graduate from college and lead productive lives. Our web of services helps the region save millions of dollars as we prevent child abuse, gang involvement, teen pregnancy and chronic diseases. Simply stated, Mary's Center changes lives every day.

Mary’s Center welcomed 20 Deloitte volunteers on Friday, June 7th to our Adams Morgan location for a site beautification project as a part of National Impact Day. Volunteers created a butterfly garden for the Pre-K students in our partner Briya Public Charter School and spread 70+ bags of mulch around our clinic campus to ensure the many participants we see every day walk up to a welcoming beautiful clinic! Thank you, Deloitte for your commitment over the years to Mary’s Center and the participants we serve! #NationalImpactDay

I analyze data and conduct scientific inquiries to transform clinical practice and improve population health
On May 22, Mary's Center was delighted to host a delegation from the Argentinian chapter of the Association of American Chambers of Commerce in Latin America and The Caribbean (AACCLA) at our Silver Spring, Maryland clinic. Mary’s Center was selected to participate by our longtime corporate partner, Johnson & Johnson as the nonprofit to partner with AACCLA for this event. We were also joined by Montgomery County Council Member, Gabriel Albornoz, who shared about Mary's Center's 36-years commitment to serving communities of color and meeting them where they are to provide quality care. Attendees also heard from Mary’s Center’s executive leadership team and toured our Silver Spring clinic and learned about our work in the community. It was such an honor to sit as a panelist to share with distinguished healthcare leaders of Argentina on how to use data to transform healthcare practices and to provide patient-centered care. #montgomerycounty, #silverspring, #goodhealth, #argentina, #chamberofcommerce, #maryscenter

Yesterday, we inaugurated our new Shepherd Street campus with a ribbon cutting and open house! Supporters toured adult ed and early childhood classrooms, shared food, and enjoyed speeches from DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, DME Kihn, Councilmember Lewis George, and ANC Commissioner Kirby. We're incredibly grateful for everyone who collaborated to make this long-term home in Petworth a reality. "Washington, DC is a city of life-long learners, and today, we celebrate the expansion of Briya Public Charter School's unique two-generation education program," Mayor Bowser said during the event. "Programs like Briya represent who we are as city: our resilience, our never-give-up spirit, our diversity and the celebration of that diversity, and our appreciation for learning – across all ages."
