For many of us, warmer weather means fun in the sun: hiking, biking, gardening, kayaking, camping, grilling, and swimming.

Family medicine plays a critical role in our overall health, helping us stay on top of our wellness and catch potential problems early through preventive health screenings and check-ins. In 2020, many of these important screenings took a backseat to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it’s important not to delay necessary care too long. To help patients get back on track with their wellness, the Laurel Health Centers applied for an AllOne Foundation grant to launch a new community health outreach program.
