Vice-Presidents
and Directors of Southcoast
Health met at the UMass CIE
on April 28, 2017 for one of a series of sessions designed to keep the
hospital system personnel up-to-date on organizational and community
issues. At the start of each meeting, a different community leader is
invited to open the two-hour meeting with a brief report on a community
resource or issue. This month, Partners
for a Healthier Community Executive Director David S. Weed, Psy.D. was
asked to give a brief summary of the health challenge in the South Coast
with a focus on Fall River where Dr. Weed is based. Following the
fifteen-minute presentation, Dr. Weed was surprised to learn that he had
been selected as the recipient of the 2017 Hero
for Health Award for his work over the past decade. Dr. Weed announced
his retirement from the position as of the end of June. The award was
presented by Southcoast
Health President and CEO Keith Hovan who noted that past recipients
included Congressmen Barney Frank and William Keating as well as State
Representative Patricia Haddad. Click
