Mary’s Center improves the health, well-being, and economic success of the individuals and families we serve.
Strengthening a family’s health and job-readiness has large payoffs. For instance, prenatal care avoids the increased costs that arise from pre-term and low-weight births; childhood immunizations prevent medical costs later in life; and adult literacy programs result in higher earnings and lower education costs for participants’ children.
Our social change model integrates an array of culturally competent health, education, and social services. Mary’s Center’s holistic approach leads to healthy individuals, an increased number of stable families, and stronger communities.
