Workers at the mission-driven clinic which aims to center underserved communities including LGBTQIA+ people and BIPOC individuals have been struggling with burnout, insufficient staffing, and inadequate wages. Members picketed the gala to call on Fenway Health to lead with its values and improve working conditions to better retain and recruit staff, in order to protect LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities’ access to equitable and accessible health care.
