"As a long standing, grassroots community activist and public official, I have worked tirelessly over the years to bolster healthcare services and public safety in the great City of Lawrence. In my advocacy, I have come to respect and appreciate the value and significance of the work by the Mayor's Health Task Force.

The City of Lawrence is fortunate to have one of the most collaborative and active coalitions in the Northeast region. Its work is invaluable to the health and wellbeing of our citizens; without it, we wouldn't be able to deliver the greatly needed, high quality, coordinated care and services that we provide, especially to our vulnerable underserved population."
- Mayor William Lantigua
