Location:

The Boston Public Health Commission's primary mandate is to serve the residents of Boston. Its innovative programs, research, and responses to urban health challenges often contribute to broader public health knowledge and best practices. BPHC collaborates with local, state, and national organizations, and its models for urban health initiatives may be studied or adapted by other cities and public health entities. However, its direct operational presence and services are focused on the City of Boston.
