From a new plan of treating patients to advances in the Pharmacy program, Dr. Guy Fish hosts this All Site meeting from the GLFHC North site in late February.  He'll talk about how assembling a car relates to the future of healthcare with Chief Medical Officer Dr. Zandra Kelley.  Also in this edition, Alicia Mam DaCunha and Chief Pharmacy Officer Diane Martin will talk about a new and innovative program that will change the way patients receive their medications, outside of GLFHC.

When we say the words “Patient Experience”, what your thoughts are about that topic, depend on who you are.  If you are a patient, you consider the patient experience to involve timely and swift appointments, and results that will, in the end, make you feel better physically and mentally.  But what about if you’re a physician?  You are expected to make the patient feel better physically and mentally, but also meet other requirements important to your role.  Joining us this week for this conversation is Dr. Lance Braye, a former resident at the Lawrence Family Medicine Residency program who is now practicing medicine in South Carolina.

This week’s edition takes you behind the scenes to another All Site Meeting, this one from our soon-to-be-expanded West Site, located at 700 Essex Street in Lawrence.  Dr. Guy Fish, President and CEO of GLFHC talks about the strategic plan, as well as news from the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers and updates from the Department of Public Health.

In this edition of Pulse On Health, we'll be hearing from Chief Medical Officer Dr. Zandra Kelley, talking about the new Affiliated Care Organization (ACO) called C3 that GLFHC will be joining in 2023.  Dr. Kelley will explain what an ACO is and what changes patients can expect in the coming months.  In our second segment, we'll be talking with Nurse Practitioner Lisa Howe about School Based Health Centers and how they affect students health and wellness, without having to leave school to do it.

In this edition of Pulse on Health, we're going to hear from Amy Bositis about the Community Support Services program, based out of 100 Water Street in Lawrence, as well as a new COVID treatment center based out of a new site at 25 Marston St. in Lawrence.

Dr. Guy Fish joins us from our South clinical site for this edition of Pulse On Health for this month's "All Hands Meeting".
