Everyone needs a little Mae's Grace
Helping Hearts
In a world full of distractions, The Mae’s Grace Foundation is a cornerstone of health advocacy in underprivileged communities, driven by the belief that wellness is a fundamental right, not a luxury.
We recognize that systemic barriers often prevent individuals in underserved neighborhoods from accessing life-saving preventative care.
To bridge this gap, we have established The Helping Hearts Program , a proactive initiative designed to bring essential health resources directly to the heart of the community.
Recent data shows that nearly 43% of adults in these areas have postponed medical care due to cost, and approximately 1 in 5 Americans lacks a regular primary care physician.
Furthermore, uninsured individuals are nearly ten times more likely to lack a specific source of ongoing care, leaving them vulnerable to undiagnosed conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
Research indicates that only about 8% of U.S. adults receive all recommended high-priority clinical preventive services, a figure that drops even lower in socioeconomically deprived neighborhoods
Our Helping Hearts Initiative provides a comprehensive suite of "whole-health" services, including our monthly wellness drive where we’ll offer
-
Life-Saving Screenings: Free, confidential HIV testing to address critical healthcare needs.
-
Chronic Disease Prevention: Dedicated diabetes awareness workshops and glucose monitoring to combat the disproportionate rates of chronic illness in our community.
-
Health & Fitness Advocacy: Expert-led fitness awareness sessions that provide practical, accessible ways to incorporate movement and nutrition into daily living.
By meeting our neighbors where they are, the Mae’s Grace Foundation moves beyond traditional medical models to foster a culture of proactive wellness. This initiative is more than just a clinic; it is a monthly gathering centered on familismo and fellowship, empowering every participant to take ownership of their health and transform their daily lives from a struggle for survival into a journey of flourishing.
