The MGH Chelsea HealthCare Center was among the sponsors of the annual Latin American Festival in Chelsea, Aug. 3 through 5. The three-day event recognized the heritage and pride of Latin American cultures through a celebration of music, food, a parade and a carnival. MGH Chelsea employees were on hand to provide health care information, staff a first aid station, conduct blood pressure screenings and paint faces. The festival regularly attracts thousands of visitors from the greater Boston area.
