Goal: Improve the public's health through advanced environmental health knowledge
The Health & Environment Program advances environmental knowledge among health professionals to improve the public's health with a special emphasis on children and underserved populations.
Through the development of national agendas, trainings, curriculum integration, and strategic partnerships, we facilitate the integration of environmental health into health care provider education and practice.
NEEF has undertaken several projects to incorporate environmental health into health care provider education under the Health Care Provider Initiative. These projects include:
- Children's Environmental Health Faculty Champions
- Pediatric Asthma Initiative
- Pediatric Environmental History Initiative
- Pesticides Initiative
- Children and Nature
- Climate Change
