Judy Savageau Memorial Community Service

Judith Savageau, MPH was an Associate Professor in Family Medicine and Community Health.  As an epidemiologist, biostatistician, educator and mentor at UMass Chan for more than 30 years, she dedicated her life to the practice and education of community-based public health issues and preventative health measures. 

Judy Savageau Annual Coat Drive
The department of FMCH has chosen to honor her legacy by continuing the coat drive. Each year in early winter we partner with the UMass Chan Learning Communities to solicit donations of money and coats for children and youth in local Worcester schools. Bins are placed around campus and at clinical sites, with students, staff and faculty collecting, purchasing and delivering coats to the Worcester Public Schools. 

Judy Savageau Annual Volunteer Opportunity
We are grateful to the larger institution for their recognition of Judy's contributions to the culture of UMass Chan. Our colleagues at ForHealth Consulting work with the Office for Community and Government Relations to sponsor an annual school-wide volunteer opportunity in Judy's name, encouraging faculty, staff and students to join together in activities that build community and allow us to share our strengths working side-by-side with our neighbors.
