A "Caring for Lowell" Update: Mari's Journey

Mari is 10 years old and she loves her grandmother and is adjusting to her new home. Life at home and in school has not always been easy for Mari. When she was eight, she was uprooted from her home in Brazil. Mari’s parents were both addicted to alcohol, and emotionally and physically abusive. Social services in Brazil found her grandmother, Elisa, who was living in the U.S. Elisa welcomed Mari into her home and a new country, but the challenges they faced were enormous.

Breast Cancer Fundraiser A Tremendous Success

Rosalynd Danley Morse and Dorcas Grigg-Saito

On Saturday, April 26th, the Boathouse for Breast Cancer Fundraiser generated a total of $8,200 in community contributions for patients at Lowell Community Health Center receiving breast cancer education and screening services. The fundraiser was supported by dozens of local musicians, businesses, and sponsors.

The success of the event can be credited to the hard work and dedication of Rosalynd Danley Morse, who motivated a group of volunteers to organize the fundraiser. Rosalynd is a champion of breast cancer fundraising, and organizes an event each year. It was especially important to Rosalynd that the contributions be put to use locally to help women in Lowell and the Merrimack Valley. The Health Center is grateful for the work that Rosalynd undertook to make the event such a success. Our patients will benefit from her conviction and kindness.

Rosalynd’s efforts illustrate how a small group of people can have a tremendous impact.

The patient-centered medical home is a model of care emphasizing care coordination and communication to transform primary care into what patients want it to be. Research shows that medical homes can lead to higher quality and lower costs, and can improve patients’ and providers’ reported experiences of care. The NCQA PCMH Recognition program identifies health care organizations that promote partnerships between individual patients and their personal medical providers, rather than treating patient care as the sum of episodic office visits.
