Hospital campus, located at 103 Garland St. in Everett, aims to
help people afflicted with diabetes and heart disease in Everett,
Revere, and the surrounding communities. It will feature a sampling
of healthy recipes from local restaurants and Whidden staff. Other
activities will include live cooking demonstrations, free health
screenings, "Walk It Off" tours of the Whidden Hospital
