Additional Team Members
Moesha Andze
Community Wellness Advocate
My name is Moesha and I currently serve as a Community Wellness Advocate at Boston Medical Center as a part of the Parents Under 25 Program.
I have always been passionate about working in an environment that promotes the wellbeing of the community, particularly one dedicated to supporting pregnant adolescents as they navigate their journey toward successful and fulfilling lives. To me, outstanding care begins with creating a space where individuals feel safe, heard, respected, and supported. It is through compassion and meaningful support that we can help young parents recognize their strengths and build a positive future for themselves and their families.
