Manet Kicks-off 30th Anniversary Celebration!

On Friday, November 6, 2009, Manet Community Health Center shined as it opened a celebration of 30 years of service to the community!

Manet hosted close to 400 guests representing our founders, our local and state delegation, previous board members and staff, hospital, health center, and health plan representatives; industry and finance representatives; who turned out for a glamorous evening of celebration which surpassed our fundraising goal of $100,000.

The room was overflowing with support and encouragement for the Manet Mission and for the work done each day in service to our fine patients.

In particular, we saluted Massachusetts State Senator, Michael W. Morrissey, with the 2009 Manet Medallion for his contributions over the past 30 years.

Mr. Joseph Kennedy III was our special guest and we were ecstatic he could join the celebration and share some recollections and heartfelt remarks about his Great Uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy's commitment to health care for all.

The evening included a recognition of Manet's growth from one small health center on Sea Street in Hough's Neck, to now five health centers across the city of Quincy and the town of Hull. Moreover, we honored fifty-two special people who have helped to found or perpetuate the Manet Mission.

Feel like you missed out on the celebration?

Do you still want to contribute to Manet's 30th Anniversary of providing accessible, quality health care for those in need across the South Shore? If so, please contact the Development Office at any time at (857) 403-0451. It's never too late to give!

Manet Welcomes Maxine Hart as the new Director of Human Resources

Posted September 2, 2009

Henry Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer, Manet is pleased to announced the arrival of Maxine Hart, as the newest Director of Human Relations. Maxine will work beside Manet's former Director of Human Relations, Andree Caldwell that has served Manet well for close to thirty-years. Fortunate for Manet, Andree will remain on staff at Manet in a part-time capacity!

Andree will work alongside Maxine, who is a human resources and organizational development specialist with over 15 years of national and international experience. Maxine holds a Masters degree in education, adult education and community development from Manchester University, Manchester, UK, and a Bachelors degree in social work and a certificate in management advancement from Witwatersrand University, Johannesburg, SA, as well as a Senior Professional Human Resources certificate.

Maxine comes to Manet from the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, headquartered in Cambridge, where she was the Human Resources Director for this international human rights and social justice organization. As a member of senior management, Maxine was active in the strategic re-design of the organization over the past six years.

For three years prior to her arrival in the US, Maxine was an organizational consultant to various departments within the Mexican government, as well as to not-for-profit organizations. Prior to that, in South Africa, Maxine played a key role in the democratization of a new South Africa. Following her role as the Deputy Staffing Director for the Independent Electoral Commission, sponsored by her employer, where Maxine worked as the Senior Organizational Development and Change Manager, Maxine worked with three Cabinet Ministers including the Departments of Welfare; Land; and, Safety and Security to conceptualize and implement staffing strategies and structures to meet the vision and mission of a government that would serve an entire - significantly larger - population, no longer one just for whites only.

After a few weeks on the job at Manet Maxine explains, "I feel privileged to be here. I could not imagine joining a health center at a more crucial moment in this country as the delivery of health care is front and center in the national debate. What has struck me most profoundly is how warm, welcoming and supportive a workplace Manet is. Employees share a deep commitment to the mission of the organization, and as an HR professional I hope to assist the organization build upon this culture and create a strong employment brand so that Manet is recognized as an employer of choice on the South Shore. In addition, I hope to put in place HR systems and practices that recognize employees and give them opportunities to grow and develop."

We are most fortunate to have Maxine join our team at Manet. Maxine together with Andree will anticipate the requirements of Manet today and tomorrow, and strive to meets the needs of our employees - one which champions talent, performance and employment and ensures the promise that Manet is a great place to work.

Manet Community Health Center to Welcome a New Chief Executive Officer in September 2008

July 16, 2008

The Board of Directors of Manet Community Health Center is delighted to announce that Mr. Henry Tuttle has accepted the position of Chief Executive Officer. Henry Tuttle will join Manet in early September, and will be the fourth Chief Executive in the organization’s twenty-eight year history.

Moreover, Henry is a graduate of Boston College, and has served in executive leadership positions in the healthcare, energy and philanthropic industries on both the east and the west coast.

Manet eagerly awaits Henry’s arrival. There are many exciting projects underway including an Electronic Medical Record conversion and implementation, and expectations of expanded services. Henry brings the proper leadership, experience and talent(s) that Manet needs going forward.

Manet Community Health Center Takes a Historic Leap and Implements an Electronic Medical Record (EMR)

June 4, 2008

Manet Community Health Center (Manet) will “go live” with an Electronic Medical Record on Monday, June 16th. Over the summer, patients’ paper chart at all five of Manet’s health center sites will be replaced by an electronic medical record/chart. This is a bold and strategic step for the health center that keeps Manet current, innovative and progressive in the delivery of care.

An EMR improves patient safety, organizational efficiency. As well, an EMR encourages better patient outcomes and markedly improves patient satisfaction along with standards of care. Manet ,with a mission to “provide quality, accessible healthcare for all” is a multi sites primary care practice offering a health care hone in five South Shore locations: North Quincy, Hough’s Neck, Snug Harbor(Germantown), Quincy Medical Center and in Hull.

As a multi site practice, an EMR is particularly advantageous. The EMR will allow for Manet doctors and nurse practitioners to have instant entry to patients health history, medications, and lab/test results ensuring the highest -quality, best coordinated, and on-time services. This is one of the most important steps Manet has ever taken to improve our ability to care for our patients.

This efforts has been lead internally by Bill Brandon, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer and Jane Maffie-Lee, FNP, Chief Operations Officer and Acting CEO at Manet.

Breast Cancer Month, Lee National Denim Day

October 2007

Recently, Manet Community Health Center participated in making October Breast Cancer Month and Lee Denim Day. The entire month was a great success with countless staff, patients and friends generously donating to such an important cause.

Each Manet site, including North Quincy, Manet at Quincy Medical Center, Hough’s Neck, Snug Harbor and Manet at Hull contributed greatly to this very important cause and helped to reach Manet’s overall goal. The goal this year was to raise $1,000.00 for Breast Cancer research and through the efforts of all those involved that goal was met to make this years efforts a great success.

Led by Nancy Quilty of Manet’s North Quincy site, the staff and supporters of Manet Community Health Center took the month of October by force with the idea to educate and help raise awareness for such an important cause. The month began with Lee Denim Day, in which staff members donated a minimum of five dollars in order to wear their jeans on the first Friday of October and had many staff donate ten dollars in order to continue this throughout the entire month of October. October ended with Manet reaching its goal to spread awareness and raise money for the problem that is Breast Cancer.

Breast Cancer and Cancer in general is an epidemic in the world we live in today. With thousands upon thousands of people being affected everyday by this horrible disease, it is important for everyone to do their part in trying to help educate and find an eventual cure to this terrible problem. Manet Community Health Center did just that in reaching their goal to raise money for the research needed in order to cure this horrible disease and pledges to do their part in the coming years as well.
