A community health organization formed in Springfield, Massachusetts 20 years ago has started the new year by changing its name.
Partners for a Healthier Community this week became the Public Health Institute of Western Massachusetts.
The change was announced and new data on youth mental health was released at a meeting this week attended by more than 100 of the organization’s supporters.
WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with the institute’s executive director Jessica Collins.
