LEONARDTOWN, MD (February 12, 2026) – The St. Mary’s County Health Department (SMCHD) invites community members to attend an evening open house on March 19, 2026, offering an opportunity to tour two key community health facilities: the Spring Ridge Middle School School-Based Health Center (SBHC) and the SMCHD Health Hub in Lexington Park.

The open house will allow residents to meet staff at each location, learn about available services, ask questions, and pre-register for care. Both sites will be open to the public during the same time window.

The Spring Ridge SBHC provides health care services to the entire St. Mary’s County community.

The health department also offers an SBHC on the campus of Margaret Brent Middle School.

The SMCHD Health Hub offers a broad range of health and wellness services for all community members, including walk-in crisis services for mental health and substance use concerns, connections to primary health care, assistance with health insurance enrollment, employment support services, and additional wraparound resources – most available at no cost.

“These facilities are designed to meet people where they are and make it easier for our community to access care,” said Dr. Meena Brewster, St. Mary’s County Health Officer. “This open house is an opportunity for residents to see firsthand what services are available, connect directly with our team, and learn how the Health Department can support their health and well-being—whether they need routine care, help navigating services, or immediate support.”
