About Bay State Public Health Training Hub

The Office of Local and Regional Health promotes and supports the development of inter-municipal shared service agreements (cross-jurisdictional sharing) that contribute to improvements in local public health capacity. By pooling resources, functions, and expertise, a consortium of cities and towns, especially the smaller communities, may improve compliance with the performance standards and expand the public health services they offer residents within their community. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health assembles statewide & regional public health professional associations, academic partners, and other training providers. The Office of Local and Regional Health provides funding to increase, diversify, and strengthen the local public health workforce. The goal of this interdisciplinary collaboration is to promote & advance the training and continuing education offerings for local public health staff and board of health members, to increase their skills and competency in key functional areas. The Bay State Public Health Training Hub hosted out of the New Bedford Health Department encompasses twenty-six cities and towns united between five public health community partnerships, along with two non-PHE funded communities. Our training hub prides itself on providing the latest information, resources, training, and hands-on guidance to public health professionals with an eye toward the future of Local Public Health.
