Who is a member?
Our members are the local governments of Massachusetts and their elected and appointed leadership.
The MMA will host a webinar with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health on Dec. 17 regarding the State Action for Public Health Excellence (SAPHE 2.0) program.
The Department of Public Health says it is committed to improving the health of every person in the Commonwealth by transforming the local public health system to meet modern-day needs.
In the webinar, DPH representatives will discuss their commitment to partnering with municipalities, and how SAPHE 2.0 lays the foundation for a healthier Massachusetts.
Enacted in November 2024, SAPHE 2.0 is intended to elevate the capabilities of local public health departments to provide sustainable and equitable public health services to build stronger, more resilient communities across the Commonwealth.
Panelists will also discuss resources available to municipalities to help create a better local public health system, including the Public Health Excellence Grant Program and a new public health workforce and data platform called Metrik.
Online registration is available for the 75-minute webinar, which will begin at noon. Only MMA members may register. MMA members include elected officials and municipal employees from MMA member communities across the state. Media members are not permitted to attend.
