Shattuck Partners strives to improve the quality of life of patients at the Lemuel Shattuck Hospital by funding or providing programming and supplemental support services.
The Lemuel Shattuck Hospital has a long history of responding to the public health challenges facing our community. This fully accredited teaching hospital provides compassionate medical care and a network of services designed to assist economically and socially disadvantaged patients, underserved by mainstream healthcare systems, in their recovery from difficult medical and complex life situations.
Our History
Partners in Life, Inc. was established in 1987 to serve patients with HIV/AIDS at the Lemuel Shattuck Hospital. Partners provided personal care items, recreational supplies and travel services for patients and families, as well as professional development opportunities for staff.
As social services and the treatment protocols improved the quality of life for HIV+ patients, Partners responded to the changing public health landscape and expanded its mission. Now, as Shattuck Partners, Inc., we are committed to helping all patients at this important public and mental health hospital by collaborating with hospital staff to support programs, services, supplies and activities that help patients on their journey of recovery, healing and hope.
How We Work
As an important Commonwealth of Massachusetts public health hospital, the Lemuel Shattuck Hospital is the “hospital of hope” for patients across the state who face complex diagnoses and extremely difficult life circumstances. Shattuck Partners collaborates with hospital staff to identify high-priority patient-focused needs the hospital is unable to meet through state budgets, and works to meet those needs.
