It’s time to update our network of local public health departments. The lack of standards and state funding for public health has left too many #MA communities vulnerable to unsafe food, water, housing, and myriad #publichealth emergencies. We need SAPHE 2.0 now more than ever!

Yesterday, MPHA joined allies and community leaders to provide testimony to the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing in support of An Act to Advance Health Equity. This critical bill will advance health equity by prioritizing equity in state government, standardizing data collection and reporting, improving access to quality healthcare, and investing in community driven efforts to address root causes of health inequities through Health Equity Zones.

Health Equity Zones are a #publichealth strategy to invest in health at the neighborhood level. Communities experiencing inequities are in the driver’s seat, directing $$ towards interventions tailored to the needs of community.
