Once each week, the moms and babies of Malta House are fortunate to have a visit by Dr. Alison Cass, a pediatrician whose career spans 40 years. 

“Dr. Alison,” as the moms and staff fondly refer to her, started volunteering at Malta House after retiring from private practice. “I was looking to give back in gratitude for my many blessings,” she explains. “Malta House is the perfect opportunity to combine my medical experience and love of mothers and children."

She facilitates a mom’s group that covers something different each week. “From Q&A (I call it “what you wanted to ask about your child but weren’t able to at your last doctor’s visit”), to more structured conversations about infant and child development, feeding, behavior, and simple illness scenarios,” she says.

Alison lives in Stamford with her “wonderful” husband and has “two amazing grown children.”

Her volunteerism also includes Reading Champions, run by the United Way of Greenwich, and serving as a second-grade CCD teacher. In 2025, she also became an Assistant Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at Netter SOM, Quinnipiac University. (Which she notes is “quite the contrast from working with little ones and moms!”)

In her spare time, Alison enjoys gardening, working out, skiing, sailing a small boat and especially spending time with her family.

Alison will be honored at our 2025 Fall Fling Volunteer & Employee Appreciation Dinner on Oct. 16, 2025. You can purchase tickets here>.
