CHNA 20 leadership looks a little different than years past, with changes in staff roles and a new governance structure. Let’s meet the team!

Four Questions with Katelyn Szafir
My name is Katelyn Szafir. I am the Associate Executive Director at the South Shore YMCA in Quincy and in Hanover.
Tell us how partnering with the Blue Hills Community Health Alliance (CHNA 20) has changed your work for the better.

Celebrating Kym Williams
2020 has been a year of great change for most of us, and the Blue Hills Community Health Alliance is no exception. Amid all the challenges of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and social inequities that impact our communities, we’re also facing internal change. Some of the changes for the CHNA are positive, such as our new home at Bay State Community Services. Others are harder to accept -- like the decision of our longtime Program Director, Kym Williams, to step aside into a less substantive role as we approached the end of the fiscal year.
