Welcome to HealthLink
HealthLink is a Massachusetts North Shore citizens group working to improve public health by eliminating toxins in the environment. We reached our first goal to change the regulations covering power plants built before 1978, including Salem Harbor Station in Salem, MA in 2001. Now we are working to insure the clean up is done right and soon. We work to promote the use of renewable energy, protect the drinking water supply for Salem, Beverly and Wenham, reduce pesticide use and protect children from toxic exposures. And, we are working at the national level as well.
