We are always overwhelmed by your generosity and compassion. This month, we were honored to receive several very special gifts that will have an immediate impact on the 50,000 lives we touch every year.
In recognition of their tremendous contributions to Lowell Community Health Center (Lowell CHC) and the community, Lowell CHC celebrated the dedication of its Nancy L. and the late Richard K. Donahue Dental Center at 101 Jackson Street on Monday, May 13th. More than 75 invited guests, including Donahue family members, friends, and colleagues attended.
“Sometimes, simply getting to drug treatment can be the biggest barrier. Thanks to a $2,000 grant provided by the Greater Lowell Community Foundation, Lowell Community Health Center is now able to remove that obstacle for those in need.”
Please join us in congratulating seven of our colleagues who have been recognized by the International Institute of New England Lowell on its 100th anniversary as being among the 100 most influential leaders and trailblazers who have had a significant impact on Lowell.
Hororees include: Mercy Anampiu, Niem Naykret, Sheila Och, Dorcas Grigg-Saito (Former CEO), Toy Vongpheth, Maria Cunha (Board Member), and Vanna Howard.
“Play that fiddle, because it was musical chairs at this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Dinner. Eileen Donoghue once again hosted the annual roast, this time as city manager instead of state senator, alongside her successor former Mayor Ed Kennedy. The event Thursday evening was full of jokes, jokes about jokes and occasional heartfelt sentiments. It was attended by roughly 350 people and was expected to raise about $10,000 for Lowell Community Health Center Teen BLOCK, though the final amount was not yet calculated as of Thursday night.”
“Youth must recognize the power within them, bring their ideas to the table and back them with action if they want to make lasting change on issues that matter to them. That was the message 17-year-old March For Our Lives Boston organizer Vikiana Petit-Homme had for area youth who gathered Saturday morning for Lowell Community Health Center Teen BLOCK’s first RevoYOUTHtion youth conference.”

LOWELL, Mass. ― For many public health experts, Massachusetts’ near-universal health insurance coverage makes it the gold standard for access to care. It’s the last place in the country where you’d expect to find a spike in HIV cases alarming enough to pique the interest of the federal government.
LOWELL — Ivy Ngugi was blown away. Attending the annual Dance 4 Peace at Lowell Memorial Auditorium last year, she was truly impressed by the youth anti-violence forum.
More than 1,000 people attend the event, during which youth from the Merrimack Valley perform dance, music, spoken word and comedy — all around a theme that promotes tolerance and peace.
