Our Purpose

Hilltown Health was created to help organize community support around various issues relating to safe technology in Western Massachusetts and particularly Greenfield and the Hilltowns of Western MA (a group of 10 small towns to the west of Greenfield). Goals of this grassroots organization include working with town officials to update their telecom by-laws and providing citizens and organizations with information so they can make informed decisions about their wireless exposure and how they want wireless infrastructure (antennas and cell towers) installed in their communities. The driving force behind this initiative is the nationwide (and global) roll out of 5G technology which will require a massive densification of antennas in and around the places where we live, work, learn and play.
