The Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) is comprised of 12 agencies, 2 soldiers’ homes, and the MassHealth program, and the annual budget represents more than 50% of the state budget. EOHHS and its agencies and programs are focused on the health, resilience, and independence of Massachusetts’ residents. Our public health programs touch every community in the Commonwealth, with 1 in 4 residents directly impacted. EOHHS has over 22,000 employees serving residents across the Commonwealth. We welcome the media’s questions about EOHHS programs, policies, and services.
