Dr. Angela Abraham
Dr. Angela Abraham has joined Harvard Street Neighborhood Health Center as its new Director of Optometry. The expansion of Harvard Street’s services to include a full-service optometry department is important to building its comprehensive patient-focused medical facility, according to president and CEO Stan McLaren.
“Patients are now able to complete their medical appointments and go directly to our optometry department for eye exams. They can also order their glasses, for complete one stop shopping,” McLaren said.
Dr. Abraham previously served as the Director of Eye and Vision Services at The Dimock Center, a New England College of Optometry (NECO) affiliated clinic. While there, she was also an assistant clinical professor that trained future optometry students. Prior to that, Dr. Abraham was in private practice in South Carolina.

Retired teacher Shirley Nolan raised her arms aloft after receiving her first Covid-19 vaccine shot, exclaiming, “Hallelujah.” Nolan was the first resident of Boston’s Edgar P. Benjamin Healthcare Center to get the shot, a moment publicized by state health officials as efforts began Monday to vaccinate long-term care residents in Massachusetts.
The coronavirus has exacted a tragic toll on long-term care centers both in the state and nationally and the risks faced by their residents and workforce have placed the facilities near the front vaccine rollout line.
