Stronger public health, shared across four towns.
North West works across Acton, Dracut, Lowell and Westford to strengthen local public health capacity, coordinate regional initiatives and expand access to public health programs and services.
More capacity than any one town could build alone.
By working regionally, our communities share staff, expertise and resources. That makes it possible to strengthen local services and respond to needs that would be hard to address independently.
