We are a Federally Qualified Health Center, providing medical, dental, emotional wellness, and care coordination services for the whole family at three locations in DC. We also strongly emphasize maternal and child health, with midwifery practice and the only free-standing birth center in DC.

We are committed to improving health and ending family and individual homelessness to make Washington, DC, more equitable. We care for families and individuals by providing direct services focusing on prevention, healing, and wellness. We improve lives by building on families' and individuals' strengths, honoring their choices, and taking a whole-family, multi-generational approach.
