About Us
The North Quabbin Health Collaborative was founded through an agreement between the Town of Orange, Massachusetts and the Towns of New Salem, Warwick, Wendell and Petersham, in which the Lead Municipality (Town of Orange) provides Cooperative Public Health Services.
This program is entirely paid for by Regional, State and Federal Grants with a goal of bringing shared health services to towns who may not otherwise have easy access to them.
Our on-going goal is to continue to provide healthcare support and collaboration in the North Quabbin area. Join us for our open nursing hours, clinics, and other events.
Office number is 413-500-6414
Email address is scass@townoforange.org
The regional service currently provides for its member towns:
-
Reportable Disease Monitoring and outreach
-
Public Health Education
-
Public Health Clinics
-
Health Inspections
Pursuant to M.G.L. Ch. 40 Sec. 4A the Towns have authority to enter into an Agreement for the sharing of public health services by creating a common health service program, known as the Cooperative Public Health Service (CPHS) in order to improve local public health capacity and access to trained and experienced public health professionals and to meet community and regional responsibilities. The Collaborative agreement was officially signed by all five member towns on April 11, 2022.
