Why It Matters
Health is the foundation.
East Baltimore communities face significant health disparities — higher rates of chronic disease, limited access to insurance, and fewer healthcare facilities nearby. The Mack Lewis Foundation's health programs are a direct response to those gaps.
By bringing GBMC and Johns Hopkins clinicians into the neighborhood, we remove the barriers of transportation, cost, and trust that often keep families from seeking care. Our goal is early detection, education, and connection to ongoing care.
Community health and community strength go hand in hand. When families are well, they can engage in every other program we offer — boxing, academics, summer camp, and more.
