Salem, MA – Yesterday, Congressman Seth Moulton (D-MA) toured the North Shore Health Clinic in Salem to meet with the staff about the care they provide and hear about their work to respond to a variety of community health challenges. Moulton also visited the center in April to announce two federal grants he worked to secure totaling $677,083 for the North Shore Community Health, Inc. and Lynn Community Health Center to fund expanded addiction treatment services.

“The North Shore Community Health Clinic provides comprehensive and accessible primary care for residents in our region and plays a key role in developing innovative responses to a wide variety of local community health challenges,” said Moulton. “I was grateful for the opportunity to hear directly from Maggie Brennan and the health clinic staff about their work and needs, and I remain committed to being an advocate for our local community health centers.”

In 2015, NSCH provided services to more than 14,000 patients through more than 57,000 visits at four services sites: the Salem Family Health Center, the Teen Health Center at Salem High School, the Gloucester Family Health Center, and the Peabody Family Health Center.

“On behalf of the patients, staff and Board of North Shore Community Health, we were delighted to host Rep. Moulton’s visit to Salem Family Health Center,” said Margaret Brennan, CEO of North Shore Community Health, Inc.“The Congressman has been a tireless and committed advocate for the health center and our patients, especially those who are most vulnerable - patients battling opiate addiction. We know we can continue to count on him and were pleased to introduce him to our services and staff.”
