They also offer geriatric healthcare, nutrition services, and referrals for specialty care. Marram Health Center emphasizes a coordinated care approach, where all providers work together to develop personalized care plans for patients. In addition to physical health, Marram Health Center places a strong emphasis on behavioral health.

Dental care is another vital component of their offerings, with services such as dental exams, digital X-rays, teeth cleanings, screenings and treatment, tooth removal, emergency dental care, children's dental care, and dentures, available at their Gary and other locations. Marram Health Center also goes beyond traditional healthcare by offering on-site pharmacies at select locations (including Gary) for convenient medication access, assistance with health insurance enrollment (Indiana Medicaid and marketplace insurance programs), community outreach programs, free pregnancy testing, and transportation support. They are actively involved in homeless outreach programs and collaborate with various community organizations to address broader determinants of health, such as access to healthy foods, economic well-being, education, and housing. The center also provides autism evaluations and diagnoses for young children. Named after marram grass, which has deep, stabilizing roots, Marram Health Center symbolizes its commitment to deeply rooting itself within the community to provide a strong network of care and foster overall health and well-being.
