BCPH
Boston Congress of Public Health
Catalyzing a More Just & Equitable World
Empowering emerging public health leaders through recognition, training, and community to transform health outcomes for all.
Our Story
Dedicated to Creativity,
Culture & Growth.
The Boston Congress of Public Health (BCPH) is where emerging leaders find their voice and seasoned practitioners discover new purpose. We believe that when life and work move in sync, the best ideas don’t just happen—they flow.
That’s why we created a new way to pause, reset, and spark the thinking that fuels not just careers, but whole ways of being. Our mission is simple yet profound: to cultivate a global community committed to health equity and social justice.
Through awards, fellowships, training academies, and scholarly publications, we amplify underrepresented voices and transform the landscape of public health—one leader at a time.
