Who we are

MPHA is a nonprofit organization that promotes a healthy Massachusetts by advocating for effective policies, organizing key stakeholders, and building broad coalitions. We are leaders in the movement to create health equity by addressing the root causes of health and wellness. We promote policies that impact the major drivers of health outcomes, such as access to healthy food, safe affordable housing, and transportation. We also advocate for equitable access to critical public health services across the Commonwealth.
