    WORCESTER — The North Worcester Business Association will kick off its 2026-27 season on Wednesday, September 16th, with a luncheon featuring Seema Dixit, commissioner of Health and Human Services for the City of Worcester, as guest speaker.

    The luncheon marks the beginning of another season of networking, professional connections and programs focused on Worcester's business community and the opportunities available in the city's North Worcester area. It will be held at noon at The Mill 185 on West Boylston Street.

    Throughout her career, Dixit's work has included environmental health, infectious disease control, healthcare quality and safety, health equity and community-driven approaches to addressing social determinants of health. Her work has also focused on integrating public health with systems addressing housing, homelessness and access to care.

She has also held leadership roles with national and regional public health organizations, including the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials.
