Affordable Primary Health Care - Holy Cross Hospital, Montgomery County, MD

Health Center for the Uninsured

Holy Cross Hospital opened two health centers – in Silver Spring and in Gaithersburg – to bring affordable health care to uninsured adults.

Some health center patients have never before received care for their simple or complex health problems. Others have not maintained their health because they lack the money or insurance needed to consistently afford medications.

The centers offer various educational programs and resources to help patients manage high blood pressure, diabetes and other chronic conditions. Individual instruction, group education, and low-literacy, culturally competent written materials are available onsite.

Now this unique center accommodates more than 6,000 patient visits per year.

This state-of-the-art center is a “medical home” for adults in Silver Spring and surrounding areas who are not able to access primary care elsewhere. Skilled clinicians provide emergency room follow-up, physical exams, chronic disease management and care for patients discharged from the hospital. The staff speaks English, French and Spanish, and offers interpretation in other languages.
