Mayor Sarno stated, “The number one goal for all of us involved in this meeting is to work towards a plausible solution to protect those residents and their families potentially affected by these changes and to save jobs. Though these changes were meant in a good way, they have brought unintended consequences. We all pledged to work together to take our message that other safe public health options/measures can and should be explored to keep all these four facilities open. This is the only way that they can all survive and keep giving those residents and their families a peace of mind.”
Mayor Sarno also added that besides bringing in the expertise of Health and Human Services Commissioner Helen Caulton-Harris, he has also contacted David Cruise, President and CEO for MassHire, on behalf of the employees too.
“We’ll keep fighting for these residents, their families and the employees so that no one is left out in the cold,” said Mayor Sarno.
