North West Public Health Coalition
About Us
The North West Public Health Coalition (N.West) is comprised of the Boards of Health and Health Departments of Acton, Dracut, Lowell, and Westford, Massachusetts.
The group was formed in the Summer of 2021 as a result of the Public Health Excellence and Shared Services funding released by the MA Department of Health to formalize municipal partnerships, increase services, and to offer regional programs.
The N.West group meets monthly to develop and strengthen regional programming, share information, resources develop regional policies, and manage shared services.
