Governor Maura Healey signed legislation renaming Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission to MassAbility. “This historic legislation represents the state’s commitment to propelling the disability movement forward,” said MassAbility Commissioner Toni Wolf. “Language has the power to shape people and culture, tackle stigmas, biases, and stereotypes. For too long, the words we’ve used have not reflected the strengths, resilience, and determination of the disability community. This legislation changes that. We are changing life in Massachusetts for the better, making it more equitable, accessible, and inclusive for people with disabilities.” Read the press release: https://lnkd.in/e7bzvNQ7 https://lnkd.in/efzJQ-sz

The agency strives to ensure programs are available for ALL to access no matter where they live in the state or the language they speak.

This month, we're thrilled to spotlight Jared Krok, an Intake Supervisor for MassHealth. Jared leads a dynamic team of 10 intake staff known for their efficiency and strong sense of camaraderie. Now in his fifth year in this role and with a decade of experience at EOHHS, Jared brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership to his role. His team is responsible for processing long-term care applications and general MassHealth coverage for the over-65 population—a group Jared recognizes as "critically important." Jared's exceptional leadership was highlighted by Yasmin Otero, Director of the Springfield MassHealth Enrollment Center (MEC), who nominated him for Spotlight. Yasmin describes Jared as "an all-around excellent supervisor with a high standard of timeliness, accuracy, and customer service." Jared's top priority is supporting his staff, guiding them through the intense demands of their work. He invests 4 to 6 months of daily training with new hires until they’re fully confident in their roles. Thanks to Jared's dedication and his team's hard work, their unit operates like a well-oiled machine. One of the things Jared loves most about his job is the variety—no two days are ever the same, keeping the work both challenging and engaging. Outside of work, Jared enjoys traveling and spending time outdoors with his wife of 23 years and their two pugs. A passionate Boston sports fan, Jared is known to keep his fingers crossed for good luck throughout entire games!
