“It has been an honor working with Mark Masselli and his team, and we are so pleased to turn this asset over as the permanent home of the Community Health Center of Waterbury,” said Michael Belfonti, President and CEO of Belfonti Companies, LLC. “Mark’s story is remarkable and inspiring, and I would highly recommend the book Peace & Health (by Charles Barber) to anyone who would like to learn how he transformed CHC from a single dental chair in Middletown, CT to a world-class healthcare organization.  It just goes to show that a better world can be created when like-minded people join forces.”
