March 23, 2012. Somerville, MA.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has awarded the Massachusetts Department of Health a $1.57 million Community Transformation Grant to promote health and wellness in Middlesex County. United States Surgeon General Regina M. Benjamin, MD, MBA, formally launched the grant’s activities at a press conference at the Holiday Inn in Somerville.

The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) collaborated with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) in applying for the Community Transformation Grant. This grant allows for the expansion of MDPH’s “Mass in Motion” initiative, which works to reduced obesity and supports MDPH’s smoking cessation and prevention activities.
