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.

EngenderHealth envisions a gender-equal world where all people achieve their sexual and reproductive health and rights. We know that sexual and reproductive health and rights are completely and inextricably intertwined with gender equality. We also know that marginalized groups—such as girls, women, and gender minorities; adolescents and youth; people with disabilities; economically disadvantaged groups; and rural and other hard-to-reach populations—are particularly vulnerable to discriminatory practices that can prevent them from leading healthy lives. But that can change. We believe that if all people are empowered and engaged; and if they live in supportive communities where systems and institutions provide high-quality, gender-equitable sexual and reproductive healthcare; and if policies, laws, and process are supportive, then they will exercise their rights to gender-equitable sexual and reproductive health services and participate as equal members of society.

Hospice of the Chesapeake's mission is to care for life throughout the journey with illness and loss. Hospice of the Chesapeake provides physical, psycho-social and spiritual support services to individuals living with and affected by advanced illness. These services are provided wherever the patient calls home. Hospice of the Chesapeake is committed to providing the best possible care for all regardless of their inability to pay. Using a team-oriented approach involving our physicians, nurses, social workers, home health aides, chaplains and counselors, allows us to ensure quality and compassionate care. Additionally, grief support services are available to all members of the community who have lost a loved one including community members who have experienced traumatic or sudden loss. When care at home is not possible, we can provide services at our inpatient care center. The Chesapeake Life Center at Hospice of the Chesapeake provides individual grief counseling and support groups for a variety of populations including adults who have lost a loved one, children and teens, and survivors of homicide and suicide. Through Chesapeake Life Center, we operate two weekend camps for grieving children and teens. We are unique in that we provide grief support services to anyone in the community seeking support including those who have experienced a traumatic or sudden loss. The scope of services far exceeds that which is provided for in the Medicare Hospice Benefit.
