CEO Brenda Rodriguez spoke for Lynn Community Health Center at the Massachusetts Health Policy Commission’s 2026 Health Care Cost Trends Hearing in Boston. She joined leaders from Baystate Health, Boston Medical Center Health System, and MassHealth on the panel “A Sustainable Safety Net: Focus on Access, Coverage, and Equity.”
Community health centers care for nearly 900,000 patients across Massachusetts, 46,000 of them here at LCHC. Brenda shared what that looks like on the ground. 27% of our patients are now uninsured, and keeping neighbors covered takes resources and close work with partners like the Health Connector and Health Care For All.
At LCHC, we’re proud to see our community represented in these statewide conversations.
