The University of Maryland School of Medicine has joined forces with the engAGE with Heart initiative to deliver complimentary health screenings to the Baltimore community. This collaborative effort aims to promote health awareness and provide essential medical services to individuals who may not have easy access to healthcare.
The screenings will take place at various churches throughout the Baltimore area, enabling community members to receive vital health assessments in a familiar and welcoming environment. Services offered during these screenings include blood pressure checks, cholesterol testing, and diabetes screenings, among others.
The initiative is designed to empower individuals with knowledge about their health and encourage proactive management of potential health issues. By targeting local churches, the program seeks to reach underserved populations and foster a sense of community health engagement.
This partnership underscores the commitment of both the University of Maryland School of Medicine and the engAGE with Heart initiative to improve health outcomes and enhance the quality of life for residents in Baltimore.
