"Signs of the Sixties" - The theme of the night focused on both the idealism and turbulence of the 1960s that brought about real social change for underprivileged individuals and communities, including the founding of the first health center in the nation at Columbia Point, Boston in 1965. As always, the event’s main focus was an awards ceremony recognizing health center employees and public servants for their dedication and commitment to the vulnerable patients health centers serve, and to promoting health access across the Commonwealth.  This year’s awardees included:
