Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers 2025 Annual Awards Gala
Last year was filled with the drama of a box office blockbuster, with funding cliffs, hospital closures, and pivotal changes. On Friday, June 13, 2025, we will honor the heroes of that thriller — our all-star cast of health center leaders and staff.
We will celebrate Mass League and health center accomplishments at our annual awards gala, themed “Camera Ready,” from 6 to 11 p.m. at the Westin Copley Plaza, Boston.
This year’s award ceremony is headlined by our 2025 State Public Service Awardee, Manny Lopes, President and CEO of Fallon Health.
We’re also thrilled to be honoring health center leaders, providers, and staff for their incredible work over the past year.
