Providing information, resources, training, and hands-on guidance to public health professionals with an eye toward the future.
THE BAY STATE PUBLIC HEALTH TRAINING HUB
The Office of Local and Regional Health promotes and supports the development of inter-municipal shared service agreements (cross-jurisdictional sharing) that contribute to improvements in local public health capacity. By pooling resources, functions, and expertise, a consortium of cities and towns, especially the smaller communities, may improve compliance with the performance standards and expand the public health services they offer residents within their community.

The Bay State Public Health Training Hub encompasses twenty-six cities and towns united between five public health community partnerships, along with two non-PHE funded communities. (See Map)

If you don't already understand the importance of report writing clearly, compliantly, and completely, then this video below of the FDA's Elsa A.I. may be your tipping point.
Elsa A.I. will compile & survey active & archived documents, such as an FDA inspection report in an effort to focus on key health issues & concerns to target gaps and trends by digitally analyzing documentation!
What Does This Mean?
One day, your reports may also contribute to solving complex public health issues within the food and drug industry with the rollout of the FDA's new Elsa AI program in late June!
