Elizabeth Greene aims to prevent heart disease and stroke in central Massachusetts
ABA member and lawyer Elizabeth Greene with her husband and two sons at the 2020 Remote Central MA Heart & Stroke Walk.
Elizabeth Greene had been practicing with Mirick, O’Connell, DeMallie & Lougee in Worcester, Massachusetts, for two years in 1997 when she heard about a new opportunity.
She received an email from a partner who volunteered with the American Heart Association but was moving on to other projects. He told her the organization wanted to rekindle its presence in central Massachusetts and needed someone’s help.
“It came at an interesting time for me, because I was busy practicing law, married and everything seemed right, and yet something was missing for me,” Greene says. “When that email came, I realized what that missing piece was it was my volunteer involvement.”
