Mary's Center for Maternal and Child Care

Medical services: Mary's Center offers full clinical Care for all stages of life including: the provision of prenatal and postnatal Care; sonography capabilities and telemedicine to take into the community to assess clients wherever is most convenient, thereby preventing hospitalization and unnecessary use of emergency rooms; and pediatric Care and primary Care for the entire family,including services for the geriatric patient. Our primary Care services include physical exams, family planning, vaccinations, and chronic illness medical management. Our mental health services include diagnosis, assessment, counseling, case management, prescription, and monitoring of somatic medications. Substance abuse screenings, referrals, and post-detox counseling are also available. (see schedule o)mary's Center also provides covid-19 vaccines, testing and treatment.all services are provided in the language of the patient, and the three lines of service are integrated for efficiency and effectiveness in a patient-centered medical home model of Care. Our sliding-fee scale of service, from "market rate" down to "no pay", enables everyone to be seen regardless of their income levels.in 2021, with a collaborative and extremely committed team, we successfully immunized 78.49% of our children under 2 years of age. 58% of all pregnant women entered Care in their 1st trimester, with many families still being uninsured in the state of Maryland. The birthweight of 91% of our newborns was over 5.5 lbs. We kept 58.13% of all diabetics under control and 44.12% of all hypertensives under control. The total number of unduplicated medical patients seen totaled 52,604 with an estimated 276,533 visits. When we include all other programs in 2019 we saw over 60,000 participants.

Social and educational services: Mary's Center provides adolescent education and supportive services, in-home visits to families and their children, comprehensive and integrated behavioral health services, and parental educational services with the goal of increasing the economic opportunities for those that seek our services. Mary's Center implements a holistic approach to health Care and recognizes that in addition to ensuring the physical health of our families, we must also work to ensure their social and emotional health. Stressors that impact social and emotional health can adversely impact an individual's ability to access services and contribute to somatic concerns that necessitate medical visits. Our holistic model has proven succesful again this year: 100% of our adolescents in the (see schedule o)after-school teen program avoided teen pregnancy and 100% of the high school seniors were accepted into college. Most of these teens are the first in their families to graduate high school.

Patient services: Mary's Center health promotion department provides health education and health promotion on nutrition and healthy lifestyles, sexual health, prevention, management, and navigation of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, tobacco use, asthma, and hiv/stis. Mary's Center's health promotion department develops programs that help patients understand the social ecological model (sem), a model grounded on the understanding that people and their environment influence each other. Applying this framework to behavior change interventions allows us to engage with individuals, organizations, and the greater community to find meaningful solutions to complex medical, social and educational challenges faced by the community we serve. The sem, prevalent in public (see schedule o)health program planning since the late 1970s and credited to urie brofenbrenneris, is the framework in which the health promotion department at Mary's Center was founded. Services are provided both on-site and through outreach events in the community, such as health fairs. Demonstrating the success of our model and committed team, our health exchange navigators and assisters continue to help thousands of individuals enroll in the health insurance marketplace in the district of columbia and Maryland.
