We provide:

Why it matters:

Community Outreach & Social Support
This is the heart of everything we do.
Our Community Health Workers meet people where they are and help with all things that affect your health- like housing, food, transportation, and safety.
They work to:
- Understand what’s making it hard for you to stay healthy
- Connect you with local help (food banks, community organizations, support, and more)
- Teach you how to take control of your health
- Work with local groups to build a healthier, stronger Calvert County
It’s about fixing the root problems- not just the symptoms. Our goal is simple, that everyone has a fair chance at better health.
Calvert County Health Department wants to keep you informed.
