Thursday, October 23 is Public Health Excellence (PHE) Day at the Massachusetts State House on , from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Join WMPHA and our statewide partners as we celebrate two major milestones: the passage of SAPHE 2.0 and five years of the Public Health Excellence (PHE) program. This is not a lobbying activity, so should be acceptable under all municpal policies, and your involvement will help build support for ongoing funding for this vital funding source for our region.

The PHE program has transformed local public health in Western MA and across the state by supporting shared staff and better training, ensuring all residents have an equal chance to be healthy, no matter where they live. Every day, public health workers and officials like you work tirelessly to keep our communities healthy and safe -- now it’s time to celebrate this incredible work and the progress we’ve made together!

Please join the WMPHA Executive Committee members on a bus from Western Mass to the State House. The bus will stop in Greenfield and at the Holyoke Mall, and a box lunch will be provided on the way home. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today by clicking the button below !
