Updated May 10, 2021;
SPRINGFIELD — Dr. Paul Pirraglia, a Baystate Health internal medicine and public health specialist, has been part of a group meeting remotely since last March to identify those whose economic and social resources made them particularly vulnerable to COVID-19
The group includes other Baystate representatives, as well as members from the Public Health Institute of Western Massachusetts and Caring Health Center, and plans to continue its work even as COVID-19 cases have dropped regionally and across the state along with hospitalizations and deaths from complications of the respiratory disease.
