Dr. Michael Bihari moved to Falmouth in 2001. He is a retired pediatrician, health educator and healthcare consultant. Mike started to volunteer at a homeless shelter for families in Cataumet, which led to 20+ years of service to the Falmouth community. As a volunteer his activities included: conducting cooking classes and packing food for clients at the Falmouth Service Center; 4 years on the Falmouth Education Foundation Board of Directors; 2 years mentoring a student in VIPS; and, Chair of the Steering Committee of the Falmouth Prevention Partnership—a sic-year commitment to help decrease drug and alcohol use among local teens, including writing more than 125 articles for his 'Risky Business' column in the Falmouth Enterprise.  In the early 2000s, Mike started volunteering at the Falmouth Free Clinic. He joined the clinic’s Board of Directors and over the next several years, as Board President, he helped to guide the organization into becoming a federally funded community health center and a provider of primary care services for thousands of Cape residents.  In 2017, he joined the Neighborhood Falmouth Board of Directors and served as President for 5 years. He created the organization’s website and wrote most of its content and, during the COVID pandemic, wrote the Neighborhood Falmouth Cookbook. As part of his work to make Falmouth a healthier community for older adults, he worked with Neighborhood Falmouth to focus on Aging in Place as the organization’s unique contribution to the town and to find ways to help older adults combat loneliness. In 2023, he was selected by the town to serve on the Falmouth Human Services Committee, which he currently co-chairs.  RESOURCES: Women's Heart Health: https://www.goredforwomen.org/en/ National Library of Medicine: https://medlineplus.gov
