Our Monthly Health Checks are bringing comprehensive screenings and wellness consultations directly to those in need—reducing health disparities and saving lives.
Empowering Healthy Lives
Quality Healthcare Access Shouldn’t be Limited to Your ZIP Code.
Through Monthly Health Checks and wellness consultations, HENM provides free screenings and life-saving support to families in under-resourced neighborhoods—while creating scalable, sustainable solutions for healthier communities.
We Look Forward to Seeing YOU at Our
Next Monthly Health Check!
Health Empowerment Network of Maryland, Inc. (HENM) in collaboration with our community partners and stakeholders will conduct Monthly Health Checks in 2025. The Monthly Health Checks will primarily focus on increasing health awareness, addressing health disparities, providing prevention/intervention services, and addressing health-related social needs.
Each event will target specific health-related initiatives that will decrease health inequalities and increase health equity in under-resourced and under-served regions across Maryland. Community collaboration is imperative, therefore, HENM will partner with civic associations, the faith community, county & state government officials, as well as with other medical providers in our areas to ensure success in each event.
