Public Health Updates as of 4/08/2026

To keep the community updated on public health developments, the Cambridge Public Health Department (CPHD) will provide regular updates on its website and in a dedicated space in the city’s daily email. Look for a recap of important public health information every other week.

Happy National Public Health Week!

The Cambridge City Council designated April 6-12 as National Public Health Week “in special appreciation of the dedicated work of City government, community organizations, health professionals, businesses, and residents in advancing health equity and building a healthier, more resilient Cambridge.” CPHD marked the week by inviting the public to participate in an Overdose Prevention Kit Assembly Event to help make lifesaving tools more accessible to those in need.
