Two-year funding and increased access to vaccines will allow Lowell CHC to address COVID-19 and bolster our commitment to equitable, affordable, quality care for our patients as we recover from the pandemic. There is much work to be done!
Lowell CHC has launched a partnership with Notable Health to increase equitable access to the COVID-19 vaccines. Lowell CHC is the first independent, federally qualified community health center deploying Notable’s intelligent automation platform to mobilize a COVID-19 vaccination effort.
The Lowell Community Health Center has been included in President Joe Biden’s Community Health Center Vaccination Program, which provides additional vaccines to ensure that traditionally underserved communities are not left behind during distribution.

We join with those in our community who reject racism and bigotry in all its forms. It must not be tolerated. Hate speech is more than just hurtful. It is damaging. It is marginalizing. And it is threatening. It has no place in our community. Hate speech and hate-induced actions can have long-lasting negative effects on the health and wellbeing of our BIPOC community. We remain committed to lifting up the voices of those who are continually confronted with racist language and behavior. This is the moment to link arms, face the truth, and stand together against the damaging speech and intolerance that we have heard this week. #racismisapublichealthcrisis
