A message from the Executive Director
Dr. Barbara Ferrer
 Welcome to the Boston Public Health Commission website.
Our mission is to protect, promote, and preserve the health and well-being of all Boston residents, particularly the most vulnerable.
We strive to fulfill our mission through a wide range of health initiatives that target preventable disease and injury. Through the years, public health has made great strides when it comes to infant mortality, childhood immunization, cancer, heart disease, and tuberculosis, to name a few.
But there is still work to do. These days of economic stress and fear of new and unknown viruses and disease have reminded many of the importance of a sound public health system. Public health is here for the city of Boston, now more than ever.
Thank you for visiting our website. I hope you find it to be a useful source of public health information for you and your family.
