• A rural migration: Diverse communities are being priced out of Worcester, making it harder for healthcare providers and nonprofits to reach them (wbjournal.com subscription) — Residents priced out of Worcester are increasingly relocating to rural towns like Clinton, where limited healthcare access and dependence on the WRTA make reaching doctors much harder. Local nonprofits and health systems are responding with fare-free buses, mobile clinics, community health workers, and at‑home care pilots to keep vulnerable seniors, new arrivals, and low‑income families connected to essential medical services across Central Massachusetts.
