Regional Collaboration

About Us

The North West Public Health Coalition was formed in 2021 through Massachusetts Public Health Excellence and Shared Services funding to strengthen municipal partnerships, expand services, and support regional public health programming.

The coalition brings together public health leadership from Acton, Dracut, Lowell, and Westford to share information and resources, develop regional initiatives, and manage shared services.

The North West Public Health Coalition works to ensure the health and well-being of those living and working in their communities by collaborating on preventative health programming, community wellness initiatives, and environmental protection.
A thriving community for both residents and visitors.
