This year marks 50 years since Fenway Health was founded by activists and nursing students who shared a common belief: that health care is a right, not a privilege. Fenway’s history isn’t just about the building of a health center, however – it’s about the building of a community. We are forever in debt to the folks who have done – and continue to do - the hard work of community building over these five decades. Today, let’s hear one of their stories.
Today’s guest is Paul Glass. Paul has a long history of working to improve health care for marginalized people and creating community spaces. His work with Fenway includes championing a groundbreaking study on HIV and men of color for The Fenway Institute, and collaborating with the LGBTQIA+ Aging Project to address the needs of queer and trans elders of color.
