BHCCI and Healthy Eating Intern

Welcome! We’re Boston’s public health department. We work in partnership with communities to protect and promote the health and well-being of all Boston residents, especially those impacted by racism and systemic inequities. We envision a thriving Boston where all residents live healthy, fulfilling lives free of racism, poverty, violence, and other systems of oppression. Equity. Collaboration. Anti-Racism. People-Centered. Transparency. These values drive our public health work and shape how we support and empower our employees every day. Through our policies, programs, and services, we strive to eliminate health disparities based on race, ethnicity, income, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and neighborhood. We support residents and families with over 40 programs and services that meet community needs across our neighborhoods and lifespan, including accessible community-based health and social services; community engagement and advocacy; health-promoting policies and regulations; disease and injury prevention; emergency services; and health promotion and education services. We are equally committed to investing in our people by fostering an inclusive and empowering work environment where everyone can grow, contribute and make an impact. As the nation's oldest health department, with roots dating back to 1799, our work has evolved from the needs of then to the needs of now. We provide and support accessible, high-quality community-based health services and programming, education and resources to build a healthy Boston. We are a group of dedicated neighbors and community members ready to meet the moment and deliver a safer, healthier Boston for our residents.
