The Somerville Commission for Women (SCW) and Doug Kress, Director of Health and Human Services, welcomed Lisa Brukilacchio, Director of the Somerville Community Health Agenda at the Cambridge Health Alliance, and Katherine Smith and Marisa Rafal, two summer interns, to present statistics from the 2017 Wellbeing of Somerville Report. The report is a recent publication that focuses on health across life stages and promotes a holistic look at wellbeing, including social determinants from prenatal stage onward.

For the meeting, Brukilacchio and her team’s focus was the health of women. Utilizing the data, the SCW discussed how we can best collaborate to improve the lives of Somerville women and children across their lifespans.
