It seems as if Worcester’s becoming the go-to spot for public heath reporting.

The city’s efforts to reduce smoking rates with a perennially shrinking budget appear on the Washington Post website.

Great quote from Derek Brindisi:

“I have this idea of coming up with a video of what cities used to be like in the 1900s just to show what a big impact public health departments have had,” Brindisi said. “Sometimes, I feel like we should just get a helicopter so people know we’re here.”
