BOSTON (MA)

Team Profile Summary

The Boston Place Matters Team frames its work around racism as a root cause of inequities in health and recognizes comprehensive, multilevel racial justice strategies as fundamental to achieving racial and health equity. Our work is rooted in the understanding that health status is influenced by environmental conditions, social relationships, and institutional structures and that individual choices and behavior are largely shaped by the resources available in the places where people live and work. The Boston Place Matters Team is focused on changing policy and practice within the systems that shape the health of our communities, such as: education, criminal justice, employment, housing, land use and food systems.
