Congratulations to UMass Memorial HealthAlliance-Clinton Hospital of you and your hard work — and can't wait to see all you do in supporting our patients. “I felt very supported throughout the whole program. Our educator, Amy Powers, is beyond amazing. She made sure to advocate for us and that we were getting the support we needed," said new grad, Tatiana Quijanda Lemus (pictured above with Amy Powers, our ED Nurse Educator). “I think the most important thing I learned from being a new grad is don’t be afraid to ask questions because at the end of the day, someone else's life is in your hands," Tatiana added.

Arthur O'Leary, a local Physics teacher at Leominster High School who is battling stage IV Breast Cancer and receiving treatments at UMass Memorial HealthAlliance-Clinton Hospital is spreading awareness for Breast Cancer in men by urging all men to schedule a physical every year. “You have to get a physical every year, but the average guy hates going to the doctor, but you’ve got to do it every year. Get it checked, if there’s any suspicion, I’d say get it checked because it’s a possibility.” he told Spectrum News in Worcester. Call 855-UMASS-MD to get your annual screening scheduled.
