Our Model
The Massachusetts Council on Gaming and Health (MACGH) was founded to help individuals struggling with gambling.
Today, we’ve grown into a private, non-profit public health agency offering a range of services for those impacted by gambling and gaming.
Our work engages industry stakeholders, clinicians, policymakers, and community professionals from across the globe. And 40 years later, we still support individuals and their loved ones.
Our commitment strives to balance public health priorities with a people-first model for gambling and gaming.
