On Saturday, October 3rd a team of more than one hundred volunteers organized by the Red Sox Foundation visited The Dimock Center’s Sewall Building, which houses one of just five inpatient detox centers in the city of Boston.  Despite the rain, spirits were high as the volunteers from Covidien and YouthBuild Boston tackled landscaping, repaired and painted walls, installed new flooring and delivered new furniture and other supplies.

Volunteers also completed several murals by local artist Howie Green, adding color and energy to the halls of the building.

Our sincere thanks to the Red Sox Foundation, Covidien and YouthBuild Boston!

(NECN) - As the health care debate goes on, many are looking to Massachusetts as a potential model for the nation. So, what's gone right and what hasn't in the Commonwealth? Joining NECN to talk about it is Dr. Myechia Jordan, Chief Medical Officer for the Dimock Center in Boston. View the video here.

The Dimock family is deeply saddened by the passing of Senator Edward Kennedy.

Senator Kennedy was one of Dimock’s longest and strongest advocates.  His stalwart support for our Health Center and Head Start programs began in 1969 when The New England Hospital became Dimock Community Health Center and has never changed.  The services we provide to our communities, patients and clients reflect the visions and priorities he has consistently supported in his 47 years as our Senator.  Health care, family supports, child and maternal well being are the foundations of the legislation that he skillfully guided through the Senate over those many years.  That legislation and the Senator’s deep caring has -- in many ways -- made us who we are today.   

We will greatly miss him.  Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family.  Let us lift them up in our thoughts and prayers. 

Dimock has lost a long and true friend.
