I have been been receiving my health care at the EBHC for many years. As a patient I have always admire and recognize the great effort of the administration and staff in always bringing the service to the patient to the next level. I recently had the opportunity to witness the spirit of service of one of its employees, Ms. Evangelina Alvarez, who works at the WIC program of the EBHC. I was visiting the WIC Dept. last week when I heard a women telling Ms. Alvarez that she had just come to this country and she and her family did not have any clothes. Ms. Alvarez immediately remember that there was a place in the neighborhood where they were collecting used clothes to donate them later on. Ms. Alvarez took the woman there, make sure that she got the clothes that she needed and on top of that she gave her a ryde to her home in Revere as it was going to be almost impossible for this woman to carry all the clothes that she then had. This, I believe is spirit of service and beyond.
