Dr. Kiame Mahaniah, MD, Secretary of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services, recently visited Northeast Arc’s Center for Linking Lives. The Center, located at Liberty Tree Mall, is the home of NeArc’s community-facing services, and during his visit Secretary Mahaniah had the chance to learn about the range of supports the agency provides to people with disabilities and autism. The Secretary spoke with participants in Steps to Independence, a community-based day program that teaches life and job skills to young adults. He also met with staff representing programs that collectively support thousands of people across Massachusetts, enabling them to live more independent and inclusive lives.

This year’s clinic, the 19th annual, was held at St. Mary's in Lynn. A huge thank you to our student volunteers from St. Mary's who were so supportive of the young riders!
