About

The Quabbin Health District is a comprehensive regional health department serving the communities of Belchertown, Ware, and Pelham. The district was established in 1980 by a Town meeting vote and was formed under the Section 27A of Chapter 111 of the MGL.

It is a joint effort by the three communities’ local boards of health to provide their towns with the public health professionals and services needed to create healthy communities.

The District provides public health services for the roughly 26,267 residents within these communities’ 120 square mile radius. The district provides each town with the shared personnel, equipment and other resources to carry out the required public health duties.
