The people who show up.

Everybody Fitz is powered by Melrose neighbors who believe community is the most powerful medicine there is.

Lauren Fitzpatrick

Founder

I founded Everybody Fitz with the vision of helping the community become more informed about mental health. As a single mom of three children — two in Melrose and one at Northeast Vocational — I am deeply committed to both my family and the well-being of those around me. With a strong background in mental health and years of experience supporting the community, I have been an active, lifelong resident of Melrose.

Treasurer

I'm a proud mom of two boys in Melrose. My eldest is a junior at Northeast Vocational School pursuing a plumbing certification, while my younger son is in 4th grade at Lincoln Elementary. For nearly 10 years, I had the privilege of serving the Melrose community as the head manager at Bruegger's, where I worked hard to foster an inclusive and welcoming environment for all residents.
