Our Mission

The Friends works to foster and support closer relationships among the Town of Brookline Department of Public Health and Human Services, health professionals, health-related institutions and interested members of the community in order to address issues that affect the health and well-being of Brookline residents, workers and visitors.

• Recognize leaders and organizations in our community who have had a positive impact on public health

• Provide mini grants for community members to enable them to turn their ideas into projects

• Support public education about timely topics in public health

• Support public health efforts to mitigate the health effects of climate change
