The Public Health Institute of Western MA typically publishes reports on regional health issues, but for the first time we are putting out a report about our own organization. We often are asked about our regional reach, funding sources, partnership structures, and the scope of our work, so we wrote this report to answer some of these questions. We reflect and share our journey over the past five years as the Public Health Institute of Western Massachusetts. We anticipate this report will serve as a baseline for future annual reports. Thank you for being part of our evolution!
