Neighborhood Wellness Centers offer free preventive health screenings for residents

In collaboration with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), the Detroit Health Department is offering Community Health Worker (CHW) services to assist residents with accessing resources and wraparound services at seven existing Neighborhood Wellness Centers across the city of Detroit. Currently operating Neighborhood Wellness Centers (NWC) will continue to provide COVID-19 testing, and will also offer Detroiters free blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol screenings.

"We are excited to partner with Neighborhood Wellness Centers in our communities throughout the city of Detroit to address public health disparities," said Chief Public Health Officer, Denise Fair Razo." Services that are offered at the centers will provide the Detroit Health Department with an opportunity to meet residents where they are and expand our programs and services to ensure Detroiters have equitable access to essential wellness services."

All seven Neighborhood Wellness Centers are in locations that served as COVID-19 test sites. The site services will begin on August 15 - 17, and no appointments are required to receive services.
