In gratitude and thanks for the leadership of Dr. Kiame Mahaniah, our staff enjoyed a farewell thank you and send off in his honor.
As noted in his departure announcement:
“Dr. Mahaniah has been a cornerstone of LCHC’s team since joining in September of 2015, providing compassionate, culturally competent care to patients, and earning a reputation not only as a trusted and knowledgeable physician, but also a wise community leader. During his tenure, he has played an instrumental role in expanding access to birth control in Lynn Public Schools, increasing access to substance use disorder and addiction programs in Lynn, expanding the Deborah Smith Walsh Recuperative Care Center for the most vulnerable population, opening a retail pharmacy, and perhaps most notably, leading Lynn Community Health Center through the global COVID-19 pandemic.
A champion of racial equity and dignity for all persons, Dr. Mahaniah valued his relationship with the employee union, SEIU1199, supported staff’s efforts to spearhead a Committee on Racial Equity, and participated in a monthly racial equity discussion with staff. Additionally, his leadership journey is anchored in a Lean Thinking improvement approach and a profound sense of empathy for LCHC employees and patient community.
In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Mahaniah launched a team to focus on upcoming major changes to the healthcare system, colloquially called “Value-Based Payment”. His deep knowledge of complex healthcare systems will be an asset to the entire Commonwealth in this new role.”
See you around the bend!
