The Leduc Center for Civic Engagement organized a tour for University of Massachusetts Dartmouth School of Nursing's new Dean and other faculty members and graduate students to New Bedford and Fall River on September 23, 2014. The tour introduced faculty to some of the principal players in community health and provided the opportunity to begin to explore future collaborations. The Fall River portion of the tour began with a visit to Stanley Street Treatment and Resource's South End Services at 1010 South Main Street where Clinic Director Denise Wright and Psychologist Fred Rocco described their service model. Fall River Mass in Motion Coordinator Julianne Kelly then took the group on a half-hour tour of some of the efforts to improve population health through environmental structures including parks and bicycle paths. The group finished their tour at the HealthFirst Family Care Center where CEO Julie Almond and Clinical Manager Linda Medeiros described a new clinical outreach program. WIC Program Director Colleen Kenyon talked about their work with young parents before Partners School Wellness Coordinator Marcia Picard, United Neighbors Executive Director Wendy Garf-Lipp, and GFR Re-Creation Program Director Jamison Souza talked about community-based efforts to improve health.
