We are most grateful to have Fitchburg State University in our backyard and as a community partner on many levels! This summer they connected us with a fantastic summer intern, Olivia (Livv) Welch for the Marketing & Communications Department. Most of her work was behind the scenes - taking pictures, researching, writing and designing. (we did find an action pic!) Thank you, Olivia, for your hard work and creative energy! #stayconnected #FitchburgStateUniversity #FitchburgMA

Thank you, Congresswoman Lori Trahan for your kindness and support of Community Health Connections and our north central Massachusetts communities. #MA3 #CommunityHealthCenters
We're also acknowledging our federal partners this #NHCW24. Since her election to Congress, Congresswoman Lori Trahan has been a stalwart champion for health centers - reaching out, learning about the unique issues and challenges of health centers and their communities, and then stepping up to advocate on their behalf. This year, as a leading voice in support of health centers’ funding reauthorization, she went above and beyond, working from her position as a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee to fight for the maximum increase available, and bringing along so many of her colleagues. We know the hardest battles are often won behind the scenes and you need someone in the room where it happens to represent your interests. Thank you, Congresswoman Trahan! #StakeholderAppreciationDay
