A Healthy Lynnfield, an active community partnership working hard to prevent substance misuse and to ensure those impacted have the help they need, has hired Diana DeLeo as Community Outreach & Engagement Coordinator.

In her role, DeLeo will provide key support to the community, the Town of Lynnfield, and A Healthy Lynnfield Coalition in the areas of substance use and mental health. She will develop, coordinate, and implement best practices to address health disparities and prevent substance use.

I’m looking forward to working to make the community that I live in the best that it can be.”
