Governor backs full time state health commissioner plan
The Massachusetts executive outlines a bill to reorganize the State Board of Health. A salaried health commissioner would oversee public health full time, with a public health council but no executive power, and district officers required to serve full time. The proposal, drawn with input from federal and state experts, aims to replace the current board and create three new divisions including infant and child hygiene and communicable diseases.
