COVID-19 has exacerbated food insecurity across our region. You can help the Greater Lowell Community Foundation address this crisis by completing or sharing this survey with anyone who knows of youth food insecurity in Greater Lowell.
Lowell Community Health Center, which serves about half the population of Lowell in some capacity, has employed multiple strategies in the Greater Lowell area to make it easy for people to get their COVID-19 vaccines, particularly those in marginalized groups.
State Rep. Vanna Howard, backed by 34 other legislators, sent a letter to Gov. Baker urging him to “immediately implement a targeted strategy to leverage our community health care organizations’ expertise and experience,” instead of his current strategy of prioritizing the state’s six mass vaccination sites.

“Although we live in an age and place in the Merrimack Valley where cellphones, tablets, computers and smart devices are commonplace and virtual medicine has seemed like a tangible idea to many, the leap from in-center to telephonic and virtual medicine had never materialized. Then an unfathomable crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, came along.”
“It took months of repeated contact for Maria Carmen Bedard and a coworker to help a homeless man suffering from alcoholism and other illness to get the treatment he needed. Like many of the patients that Bedard, clinical manager at Lowell Community Health Center, approaches through the organization’s Behavioral Health Community Partners program, he was skeptical at first.”
“When Karen Peugh first visited Life Connection Center, she was amazed by the nonprofit’s approach to its care for the city’s homeless population. She was touched that the organization provided a plated, wait- service meal for its visitors. ‘To have people wait on them and serve them is very unique, and their approach … it’s about the individual and helping them to realize and remember that they still matter to their communities,’ said Peugh, senior director of integrated care management at Lowell Community Health Center.”
LOWELL, MA – Today, Congresswoman Lori Trahan applauded the awarding of $665,000 in federal funding to support the Lowell Community Health Center. The funding, to be dispersed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service, will be used to reduce health disparities of the Southeast Asian and LatinX populations of Lowell.
“Political leaders who proudly promote this city’s rich diversity with annual festivals celebrating cultures of origin from Southeast Asia to Africa were taken aback last month when their “listening session” on race elicited residents’ painful experiences with racism right here in Lowell.”
“David Turcotte and a team of collaborators have compiled and published the Greater Lowell Community Health Needs Assessment every three years since 2013. The lengthy document probes factors influencing residents’ health, like housing, education and employment. It analyses public health data and identifies residents in the community with the highest risk.”
