Massachusetts Health Providers Committed to the Community

Through their programs, they generate actions for health promotion, disease prevention, social services, education and training for residents and nutrition programs, among others.

Today we have the valuable participation of seven health institutions and community centers that have made a positive impact on the Massachusetts community.

These Massachusetts health providers have achieved exceptional results in promoting overall wellness.

Each table offers services, information about the various programs, jobs, downloadable information of interest, giveaways, and also provides visitors with contact with a bilingual professional.
