Agency coordinates vaccines for Gardner Housing Authority

LEOMINSTER » Montachusett Home Care Corporation recently helped oversee the administration of the COVID-19 vaccination for the residents of the Gardner Housing Authority, according to an announcement from the organization.

The Gardner Housing Authority has been an important partner of Montachusett Home Care, and when the GHA was ready to administer the vaccine, MHCC was ready in full force to help coordinate and oversee the seamless process,

according to the announcement.

“I am so thankful for all those that assisted to make our first COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic at Church Street a success,” said Sandy Mullins, executive director of the Gardner Housing Authority. “We are looking forward to providing another clinic at GHA’s other senior housing Hillside Gardens very soon. All of our residents benefit greatly from the support from Montachusett Home Care.”

MHCC was happy to provide vaccination care packages to the residents which included: brand new pairs of socks generously donated by the students at St. Anna’s Catholic School in Leominster, and facemasks which were donated by AIS Inc. in Leominster.

Lori Richardson, CEO of Montachusett Home Care said: “Last year at this time, COVID-19 was unfamiliar to all of us, subsequently it has changed our lives in so many challenging and even tragic ways, the vaccine brings hope. This hope was reflected in the gratitude of everyone receiving the vaccine today. Thank you to Sandy Mullins and her staff at the Gardner Housing Authority who continue to work tirelessly to support our older adults.”

Montachusett Home Care will continue to help play an important role in the upcoming vaccination clinics across North Central Massachusetts.
