Remembering Patricia A. Lynch: A Champion for Change We reflect on the lasting impact of Patricia A. Lynch, Boston Senior Home Care board member, lobbyist, and champion of mental health and substance use legislation, who passed away in July. Her absence leaves a void, yet her legacy continues to inspire and guide us. To honor her remarkable dedication to our community, we are proud to unveil the Patricia A. Lynch Excellence in Public Service Award. This prestigious award will be presented at Boston Senior Home Care's 50th Anniversary Gala on October 17th at the Four Seasons Hotel Boston. In a fitting tribute, Leader Kate Hogan will present the inaugural award, celebrating Patricia's extraordinary life and work. Throughout her illustrious career spanning over three decades, Patricia stood as a beacon of leadership in government, law, and advocacy. As a driving force at Lynch & Fierro LLP, she spearheaded crucial legislation, including the groundbreaking Health Care Reform Act and the transformative Children's Health Care Access Act. Her journey, marked by roles as a legislative aide, health policy advisor, and General Counsel for the Executive Office of Consumer Affairs, showcased her versatility and dedication. Patricia's dedication to public service extended well beyond the realm of legislation. In addition to her professional accomplishments, she committed her time and expertise to serving on the board of Boston Senior Home Care. Through this role, she continued to make meaningful contributions to support older adults and individuals with disabilities, further exemplifying her lifelong commitment to improving the lives of others. While our gala has reached capacity, we invite you to support our mission through a donation by visiting https://lnkd.in/exYwCgkn.
