The Massachusetts Health Promotion Clearinghouse, funded by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, provides free health promotion materials for Massachusetts residents, health care providers, social service providers, and other organizations invested in the health of Massachusetts . Each year we distribute millions of copies of brochures, booklets, wallet cards, posters, and fact sheets to locations across Massachusetts. Our materials cover over 40 topics including alcohol and substance use, mental health, tobacco, infectious diseases, chronic diseases, and child health.

Currently, the Clearinghouse manages:

  • Annual distribution of nearly 2 million copies of health promotion materials to 15,000 contacts
  • Inventory and title management of over 800 products in 15 languages
  • Over 2,000 downloads of digital resources each month
  • Over 100 reprints including copyediting and print production each year
