Blackstone Valley Partnership for Public Health - BVPPH

The Blackstone Valley Partnership for Public Health (BVPPH) is a regional collaborative created in partnership with the Central Mass Regional Planning Commission (CMRPC), and includes the towns of Blackstone, Douglas, Hopedale, Mendon, Millville, Northbridge, Upton and Uxbridge.  Through the Public Health Excellence Grant from the Department of Public Health, the BVPPH provides supplemental public health services to its communities, from assistant in inspections of permitted establishments to providing educational services and materials to its community members.  This is done as part of the BVPPH's goal to share municipal services to better promote, protect , and preserve the public health.  This shared experience has fostered cross-jurisdictional relationships, laying the groundwork for further regional collaboration. 

The Town of Northbridge serves as the host community for the positions hired under the BVPPH and meeting minutes/agendas may be found on the Town of Northbridge's Board of Health website.
