Eastern Essex Regional Public Health Coalition
(EERPHC)
Proudly serving the towns of Hamilton, Wenham, Rockport and Essex
VISION
To build a resilient, equitable, and collaborative regional public health system that ensures all municipalities—regardless of size or resources—have access to high quality, data-informed, and community-driven public health services
In an effort to help strengthen and build public health capabilities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Special Commission on Local and Regional Public Health (OLRH) produced a Blueprint for Public Health Excellence in June of 2019.The OLRH manages the Public Health Excellence Grant, which in July 2021, funded the Eastern Essex Regional Public Health Coalition (EERPHC), a coalition for the towns of Hamilton, Wenham, Essex and Rockport.
The EERPHC has since hired a full time Shared Services Coordinator, Public Health Social Worker, and a Regional Health Inspector to address the needs of the communities served.
