Moreover, Mr. Voislow has successfully worked under three of Manet's four Chief Executive Officers including: Ellen Hafer, Toni McGuire and Manet’s current Chief Executive Officer, Henry Tuttle.
Henry Tuttle, Manet Chief Executive expresses, “Tony is a top-notch professional that inspires me to work that much better, smarter and harder. Tony’s work ethic is legendary and we all seek to work to Tony’s standards on our patients’ behalf. Tony is a trusted, financial leader during the most trying of times, admired and relied upon by all Chief Executives he has worked for, as well as by Financial Officers and Fiscal Directors of other health care organizations.”

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?
