Organization Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Metropolitan Area Planning Council
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Metropolitan Area Planning Council are conducting an HIA of the Plymouth South High School redevelopment proposal that will examine the connections between school siting and health in the state, and inform school districts and their partners how to better integrate health considerations into local school building and redevelopment projects.
This HIA was conducted through funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Healthy Community Design Initiative.
The Health Impact Project’s toolkit contains resources that help communities, agencies, and other organizations take action to improve public health. The toolkit offers a collection of health impact assessments, guides, and other research to support policymakers’ efforts to consider health when making decisions across sectors, such as housing, planning, and education.
