The Boston Part A EMA Planning Council is a volunteer, federally required planning body that works to organize, prioritize, and allocate Ryan White Part A HIV funding in the Boston Eligible Metropolitan Area (EMA). Planning Council members work with staff at the Boston Public Health Commission to assess needs and determine how to meet them across ten counties in eastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire.
