Our Staff and Board leadership attended National Association of Community Health Centers Policy & Issues Conference for “Day on the Hill,” meeting with lawmakers, including Congressman Seth Moulton, to advocate for community health centers and the patients served every day.

We are grateful for community health advocates who help ensure everyone in our community has access to high quality care, because healthier communities are better for everyone.

Our CHWs volunteered at My Brother’s Table, helping cook and serve meals for the community. The team prepped over 600 pounds of baked chicken, 14 trays of rice, plus salad and steamed vegetables, and even stayed to help serve!

During Black History Month this year, LCHC honors Dr. L.C. Dorsey and Dr. John Hatch, pioneers of the community health center model.

Their work helped shape a vision of health care rooted in equity, community voice, and care beyond the exam room, values that continue to guide LCHC today.
