Seniorlink’s Massachusetts Director of Operations featured in Worcester Business Journal
Julie Carita, Massachusetts Director of Operations at Seniorlink, was featured in the Worcester Business Journal applauding healthcare workers who are battling COVID-19 across the state of Massachusetts – including family caregivers.
