25th Annual Marie Feltin Award Ceremony

27 Guild Street, Roxbury MA

Description

Join us in celebration of the 25th Annual BCIL Marie Feltin Award Ceremony! This event honors individuals and institutions who exemplify the pioneering spirit of the late DR. MARIE FELTIN, a tireless advocate for disabled and chronically ill patients. Marie was a founder of Boston’s Community Medical Group, East Boston Health Center’s Home Care Program and the Urban Medical Group, all which focus on patients becoming actively involved in their care as a critical means to bettering their health. Marie was always available for her patients and was a modern-day pioneer in providing medical care to neglected and vulnerable populations. To learn more about Marie Feltin go to https://bostoncil.org/events/marie-feltin-2021/ The ceremony supports BCIL and is a tribute to Marie’s legacy, which epitomizes BCIL’s mission of empowering individuals with disabilities to take control of their lives and live independently. BCIL promotes the CIVIL RIGHTS of all people with disabilities and our ENERGIZED ADVOCACY supports and helps create EQUAL ACCESS to healthcare, affordable housing, accessible transportation, and ADA compliance for thousands of Greater Boston residents each year, leading many to jobs, an education, and SELF-SUFFICIENCY for themselves and their families. We will honor this year's awardees, remember those who we have lost in the past year to COVID-19, and be challenged with a lively discussion with national disability activist, author and Executive Director of the Disability Visibility Project Alice Wong.
