Special Commission on Regional and Local Public Health

The work of the Special Commission on Regional and Local Public Health was codified recently by the legislature. MTF’s President Eileen McAnneny was part of this commission formed to determine how best to improve the numerous municipal public health departments, provide standards of care, and do so in an efficient way. After gathering information for two years, the commission offered a series of recommendations that are embodied in the recently passed law. The pandemic helped focus attention on the importance of public health and the need to make targeted investments in it.
