Robert J Dipietro Community Center, 7901 Cypress St, Laurel, MD 20707, US

The Eastern Montgomery Regional Services Center opened its doors in 2002 to serve a cluster of neighborhoods in East County, which include Colesville, Cloverly, Burtonsville and White Oak. The center includes the offices of the East County Regional Director, meeting space for community groups, a police substation, and The People’s Community Wellness Center (TPCWC). Its mission is to provide primary, ambulatory health care to adults in Montgomery County, Maryland who are unable to afford private health care and have no health insurance. TPCWC is co-sponsored by Montgomery County Government and The People’s Community Baptist Church of Silver Spring, Maryland. The East County Community Center, located in the same complex, also provides many services to residents, including summer childcare programs, exercise classes and a computer work station. The walls and counters are littered with flyers and brochures on everything from local Little League teams and weight-loss information to anything that the center employees think may be informative to residents. Although MCPD cars are frequently parked outside of the police sub-station, it is not the place to go for basic police functions like reporting a crime or paying a ticket. (You'll need to look on the department's website for that information). The station only serves as a meeting place and rest station for department personnel who serve East County and is not open to the public. The Park and Ride is serviced by the following MetroBus lines: Z6, Z8 and Z11; and the following Ride-On bus lines: 21 and 39. To reserve meeting space at the center, contact Community Use of Public Facilities at cupf@montgomerycountymd.gov or dial 311.
