Lynn Community Health Center (LCHC) is proud to announce the successful completion of orientation for this year’s Community Health Student Fellowship Program. Over the past two weeks, fellows participated in a series of learning sessions, site visits, and community-building activities designed to prepare them for their yearlong journey at the health center.
Now officially underway, the fellowship will pair each student with a dedicated mentor at LCHC. Throughout the academic year, fellows will explore career opportunities in community health, strengthen their leadership skills, learn to advocate for health equity, and design and implement their own health advocacy campaigns.
“After two weeks of orientation, our Community Health Student Fellowship Program is officially underway!” said Program Manager Tabitha Fineberg. “Fellows will now begin working with their mentors, learning about social determinants, advocacy and participating in job shadowing throughout the academic year, and we’re excited to support them as they grow and work toward their future goals.”
As part of orientation, the fellows had the opportunity to meet with Michael Curry, Esq., President and CEO of the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers.
“I want to applaud Lynn Community Health Center for investing in this brilliant and diverse group of young scholars,” Curry said. “Today was their first day of the program, but after meeting this cohort of students, I’m confident their journeys will be filled with many accomplishments, and I was honored to share some health center history and my story.”
During his visit, Curry toured LCHC with CEO Brenda Rodriguez, learning about the health center’s impact on the Lynn community. LCHC provides more than 283,000 patient visits annually and serves 1 in 3 residents in Lynn, offering a wide range of services to meet the needs of its community.
“We are so proud to welcome this year’s student fellows to Lynn Community Health Center,” said Brenda Rodriguez, CEO of LCHC. “This program is about more than mentorship—it’s about cultivating future leaders in community health who understand the importance of equity, compassion, and innovation. We look forward to seeing all that they accomplish during their fellowship year.”
“We always say that if you’ve seen one health center, you’ve seen (only) one health center, and I left very impressed with LCHC’s leadership team, their theory of change, the unique services they offer, and their expansion plans,” Curry added.
LCHC extends its warmest congratulations to the new class of student fellows. Join us in wishing them the very best as they begin their fellowship year!
