Boston Public Health Infrastructure and Workforce Improvements Project. - The purpose of the proposed project is to make investments in the Boston Public Health Commission’s workforce and foundational capabilities, which will help it achieve its mission of protecting, preserving and promoting the health and well-being of all Boston residents, particularly those who are most vulnerable. The proposed investments are in line with BPHC’s strategic plan and our commitment to be a model leader in addressing racial justice and health equity. The expected outcomes of this investment are to: build BPHC into a health department that best represents the neighborhoods it serves; promote and sustain a work environment where staff thrive and achieve personal and professional growth; increase access to professional development opportunities for BPHC staff; and grow BPHC’s capacity to use technology, data and effective communications strategies to drive its programming and partnerships. Within the workforce component, specific outcomes include increased hiring of diverse staff and increased size and capabilities of the public health workforce with improved wages and protections. Within foundational capabilities, the key outcomes include improved organizational systems and processes and evidence of stronger public health foundational capabilities.
