40 Years Later, Looking Back on North End Community Health Center’s Beginnings
By Marianne Aiello of the North End Community Health Center:
Lining the stairway of the North End Community Health Center are the remnants of stained glass windows that belonged to the Baptist church that once resided at 332 Hanover St. In addition to their beautiful artistry, the decorative windows also call to mind a time when the North End did not have comprehensive health care.
Forty years ago in April, the North End Community Health Center opened its doors largely thanks to a dedicated group of community members who previously had little health care experience. The group was formed when the Massachusetts Department of Health and Hospitals called a public meeting and asked if there was a health care need in the community.
Group members agreed that there was such a need, especially because the few physicians already in the community didn’t have any hospital affiliations.
