Dear Longwood,

A Message from the President

“I love my teacher because she is funny.” “My teachers give me hugs and goofs with me.”

These are examples of the rave reviews from some of the Longwood Medical and Academic Area’s (LMA) youngest visitors—for the teachers and staff at the Longwood Medical Area Child Care Center (LMACCC), one of the Longwood Collective’s most important services we provide to our members’ employees.

From David Sweeney, President and CEO:

Outside// resumed and revitalized its programming this year, bringing food trucks, outdoor seating, musical performances, fitness classes, dog petting and adoption, public art displays, games and book carts to patients, students, and visitors from May to October. During this season, Block-by-Block managed Outside//’s day-to-day operations which provided better tracking capabilities from Big Belly maintenance requests to foot traffic at placemaking sites.
