PVPC staff have been on the project team in partnership with MAPC, Health Resources in Action, and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to develop and implement the Root Cause Solutions Exchange, “a community-driven hub that offers digital resources and networking to help people who live and work in Massachusetts to create healthier, more equitable, and more resilient communities for everyone.” This resource includes a networking site and coaching by staff and consultants on how to navigate the site and to implement projects and initiatives that address the root causes of health inequities.
