#MA is second to none in clinical care, but if we are going to address the root causes of poor health and health inequities, we must address upstream social determinants of health through policy change. Hospitals have a powerful platform and voice to call for these changes on behalf of their patients, workers, and communities. Mass General Brigham and others like Boston Medical Center Hospital, Baystate Health have shown important leadership. We hope to see even more in the future! www.wwlp.com/news/massachusetts/mass-general-brigham-backs-fee-to-address-housing-crunch/
Mass General Brigham backs fee to address housing crunch
One of the state’s largest health care employers is getting behind a proposal to allow cities and towns in Massachusetts to put a new fee on housing transactions.Glad to see Mass General Brigham using its political muscle to advance critical housing legislation. We hope other healthcare systems follow suit & partner with grassroots advocates to address the root causes of the housing crisis. commonwealthmagazine.org/health/mass-general-brigham-backs-real-estate-transfer-fee/

MASS GENERAL BRIGHAM, the state’s largest private employer, on Wednesday urged passage of legislation that would allow Massachusetts communities to assess fees on higher-end real estate transactions...We are grateful for the leadership of State Representative Natalie M. Blais, 1st Franklin District, Harriette Chandler & for all of the legislators fighting alongside advocates for equitable #publictransit! We hope we can count on Chair Rep Bill Straus & Vice Chair Straus to report S.2277/H.3413 favorably out of committee without delay.
After the past two years, it is clear that Massachusetts needs an administration that will be proactive, rather than reactive, to advance #healthequity & protect #publichealth. A gubernatorial race is an excellent opportunity for an open discussion & to engage the public in conversation around these critical issues. In the coming weeks, MPHA will ask all the candidates to make specific commitments to health equity, racial justice, & public health. Stay tuned to learn more!
