Mission Hill Health Movement Annual Meeting
Wednesday, November 30, 6 pm 1534 Tremont St Celebrate the Mission Hill Health Movment's achievements over the past few years to promote food security, empower seniors to manage their heart health, and improve community health. Learn the recipient of the MHHM Gloria Murray Award. Remember our two founders: Theresa Parks; and Elizabeth Commerford. Appreciate our volunteers, interns and supporters. Join the discussion of the challenges and opportunities of the COVID 19 pandemic; what was our personal experience, how can we be better as a community in future emergencies Enjoy tasty food and meet your neighbors at the post meeting reception. |
No resident of Mission Hill should struggle alone. That's why the Mission Hill Health Movement partners with City of Boston, Mission Hill Fenway Neighborhood Trust, and many other organizations to help with food, illness, and resilience.

Remembering Betty Commerford

Mission Hill Health Movement Remembers One of Its Founders, BETTY COMMERFORD (right of photo).
Our friend and neighbor, Betty "Be" Commerford, died suddenly this week at her cabin in New Hampshire. A Mission Hill friend visited her on Monday and, Wednesday, he got a call from her neighbors. When she failed to answer their phone calls, they went to her house and found that she had passed away. Our hearts go out to Betty's friends and family.
The MHHM wants to collect stories of her over 50 years of neighborhood and national activism. She was one of the remaining leaders from that time period. As we lost local leaders, the history of the neighborhood is being rewritten in the way most flattering to the interest of the surviving institutions. One day this Summer, the MHHM wants to have a story telling party to share what we were told.
The picture is Betty and MHHM Exec. Dir. Mary Ann Nelson at the groundbreaking of the Gurney St affordable housing development about 10 years ago. Betty was one of the founders of the Mission Hill Neighborhood Housing Services, the developer of the building.
