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 March 3 covering the State Action for Public Health Excellence (SAPHE 2.0) program.
The Department of Public Health is dedicated to improving the health of everyone in the Commonwealth by transforming the local public health system to meet today’s needs. A key to this transformation is the SAPHE 2.0 law that passed in November 2024.
This webinar, designed for municipal leaders, will provide an overview of the ongoing local public health system transformation and how it is improving municipalities and the health and safety of Massachusetts residents.
Guest speakers will share specific examples of local system transformation in their communities, supported by the DPH’s Public Health Excellence Grant Program.
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.
The MMA hosted an introductory webinar on the SAPHE 2.0 program and elevating local public health in December 2025.
