The first Leadership Matters workshop produced several key educational materials that underscore the leadership capacity and community value of Public Health Nurses (PHNs). These resources can be used to educate stakeholders, mentor new PHNs, and highlight our collective progress.
We encourage all partners to explore these materials and integrate them into ongoing public health planning. Together, we can elevate the visibility and leadership of Public Health Nurses in driving community well-being.

Research has shown positive cost savings and disease burden outcomes for municipalities that provide local public health services, including those provided by public health nurses.
Public health nurses can provide vaccinations and services that can be billed for to produce revenue. Additionally, their services can help decrease hospitalization costs through early assessment, prevention and educational programs.
The purpose of defining minimum standards of public health services for municipalities in Massachusetts is to ensure foundational public health services for every community within the Commonwealth.
This presentation outlines the vision statement for the Innovations Project and actions taken.
