Those people who created a place for blood pressure checks for the elderly, STD tests for gay men, and pap smears for women, left behind the wonderful legacy we now know as Fenway Community Health. If you know anything about Fenway, you know it has come a long way.
People come and go.
They leave behind organizations to fill unmet needs perceived in a particular community. It is up to those people who come into an organization to keep it growing, to protect it from harm. The world around Fenway continues to change. New health care concepts, such as managed care, dramatically change how we are reimbursed for services. Epidemics like breast cancer and AIDS challenge us intellectually and financially.
