The Blackstone Valley Partnership for Public Health (BVPPH) is a regional collaborative created in partnership with the Central Mass Regional Planning Commission (CMRPC), and includes the towns of Blackstone, Douglas, Hopedale, Mendon, Millville, Northbridge, Upton, and Uxbridge. Through the Public Health Excellence Grant, the BVPPH provides supplemental public health services to its communities, from assisting in inspections of permitted establishments to providing educational services and materials to its community members. This is done as part of the BVPPH's goal to share municipal services to better promote, protect, and preserve the public health.

The Town of Northbridge serves as the host community for the shared inspectors hired under the BVPPH. Within Douglas, the shared inspectors conduct Food Establishment, Tanning Salon, Body Art, and Housing Inspections. Additionally, the inspectors investigate nuisance complaints and assist in the execution of public health initiatives such as vaccine clinics and distribution of resources. 

In addition, the Community Health Worker supports individuals living in the community who need assistance with accessing public benefits and community resources. The Community Health Worker also participates in various community initiatives and collaborates closely with various organizations in and around the Douglas area.

The Regional Public Health Nurse also supports the town of Douglas by providing FREE community based educational programming. These programs are often offered inside housing complexes, municipal buildings (such as libraries and Senior Centers), as well as summer camps and non-profit organizations.
