Community forum on unmet health needs

Community forum on unmet health needs 

Members of the community are invited to share their perspectives on the findings of a community health needs study that identifies the unmet medical and public health needs within Greater Lowell, including Tewksbury.

The findings of the study will be shared and discussed during the forum, which is Thursday, October 10, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. in the community room at the Tewksbury Police Department. It is free and open to the public.

Researchers and students from the University of Massachusetts Lowell conducted the study on behalf of Lowell General Hospital and the Greater Lowell Health Alliance. The assessment will provide valuable direction to Greater Lowell community organizations in addressing unmet health needs.

"We are looking forward to engaging our community in this exciting process."
