🌟 Meet Lulezim “Jim” Gorenxa, our dedicated Maintenance Technician and a cornerstone of Family Health Center of Worcester! 🌟

Jim’s day begins with a full walk-through of the facility — not just checking boxes, but making sure every corner of FHCW is safe, functional, and welcoming. From prioritizing work orders to coordinating with staff, providers, and contractors, Jim is always solving problems with care and cost-consciousness. And when emergencies pop up? He’s the calm in the storm, ready to jump in and make things right.

Since joining FHCW in June 2011, Jim has brought more than just technical skill — he’s brought heart. “Giving back is my passion,” he says, and it shows in everything he does.

One of Jim’s proudest moments? Renovating the mammogram area — a project so impactful it earned him public recognition from Governor Jim McGovern. That’s the kind of legacy Jim builds: one of care, craftsmanship, and community pride.

Outside of work, Jim finds joy in family — visiting his daughters, playing with his grandchildren, and taking long walks with his wife. He’s also a gardener and a woodworker, creating art from nature with his hands.

His favorite Worcester gem? Green Hill Park, where he loves to explore and unwind. And his favorite cause? Feeding people in need — a reflection of his generous spirit.

Jim’s biggest inspiration is his family, who motivate him to be a better person every day. His advice to anyone considering a career in community health? “Be patient, inclusive, and compassionate.”

Join us in celebrating Jim — a master of maintenance, a quiet artist, and a true champion of community care. 💙🔧🌳

Last but not least, in honor of MA Recognition Week, today we are highlighting Dayrien Diaz!

For Dayrien Diaz, being a Medical Assistant goes beyond clinical skill, it’s about the heart you bring to your job everyday. With four years of experience and a certification from Porter & Chester Institute, Dayrien joined Family Health Center of Worcester in November 2024 as a Psychiatric Clinical Coordinator and MA. Her journey is rooted in a deep desire to make a positive impact through compassionate care and meaningful connection.

Raised in Worcester, Dayrien brings a personal understanding of the community’s challenges and strengths. That familiarity fuels her commitment to helping others, especially those who may feel unheard or overwhelmed. She finds joy in the duality of her role with balancing both administrative and clinical duties and thrives in the collaborative spirit of FHCW’s team.

One moment that stands out for Dayrien involved helping a non-English-speaking elderly couple who were feeling frustrated. She took the time to listen, understand, and support them. At the end of the visit, the husband shook her hand and said, “You are one of the good ones!” That simple gesture reaffirmed Dayrien’s purpose and reminded her why she shows up with kindness every day.

His spotlight word? “Rewarding!!” It captures the fulfillment she finds in every patient interaction, every challenge met, and every life touched.

Thank you, Dayrien, for your empathy, dedication, and unwavering commitment to care. We’re proud to celebrate you during Medical Assistant Recognition Week!
