PACE Partnership with Neighborhood Health
Community Partners
NEW Health is proud to partner with several other non-profits, agencies, and organizations who share our mission to better the North End and Charlestown communities.
Charlestown
Isabella Carr is a born and raised Charlestown resident. She graduated from Boston Latin School and attended the University of Alabama, where she double majored in International Studies and Italian. Carr began working in Boston government and policy in college. She interned with State Representative Dan Ryan and later with O’Neill and Associates, a lobbying and government relations firm. Her experiences reinforced her interest in public service.
Carr looks forward to helping strengthen the relationship between the Charlestown community and City services. Outside of her time in the community or at City Hall, Carr enjoys spending time with her friends and family, walking around Boston, and trying new coffee shops.

North End
Maria Perez is a third-generation North End resident. As the Liaison for the North End, West End, and Wharf District in the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services, Maria serves as a vital connection between City Hall and the communities she knows so well. Her work focuses on ensuring residents’ voices are heard, city services are accessible, and neighborhood pride is honored.
Maria is a graduate of Boston Public Schools and has deep roots in community work. She spent five years working with youth and families in Chinatown and previously served at the Nazzaro Community Center, where she oversaw youth and teen programming and dedicated countless volunteer hours giving back to the very place that helped shape her.
Her commitment to public service is inspired by her family: her father worked in the City’s Public Works Department, and her grandfather was Deputy Commissioner of the Elderly Department under Mayor Kevin White. Most recently, Maria worked at Massachusetts General Hospital before stepping into her current role, where she continues her family’s legacy of civic engagement and neighborhood advocacy.
Other Local Agencies
The Children’s Advocacy Center of Suffolk County (CAC)are the county’s front-line responders to abuse and exploitation of children.
They provide prompt, sensitive, interagency response to child abuse so that every child and family can focus on healing.
The Massachusetts Behavioral Health Help Line (BHHL) can connect you directly to clinical help, when and where you need it. Even if you’re not sure what kind of help or treatment you may need, we can help guide you.
This Free New Moms Group is hosted at the North End Library every Thursday morning. It is a safe, supportive and welcoming place to come and meet other new mothers in the neighborhood. They talk about everything from diapers, to nursing, to sleep deprivation and more.
