Research
Sponsored first research workshop on children’s environmental health, bringing together researchers from different disciplines to undertake the challenge of merging pediatric and environmental research. The results of the workshop identified specific data gaps and specific research needs in the field.1994
Research
Sponsored first national symposium on children’s environmental health titled “Preventing Child Exposures to Environmental Hazards: Research and Policy Issues,” which created a basic policy and research framework for children’s environmental health and galvanized interest at the national level.1997
Research
Organized the national research conference titled “Children’s Environmental Health: Research, Practice, Prevention and Policy,” that focused on five key research priority areas in the field of children’s environmental health: asthma and respiratory diseases; childhood cancer; endocrine disorders; neurodevelopmental effects; and cross-cutting issues.2000
Education & Training
Performed outreach to key health professional organizations and trained over 500 health care providers and public health leaders on effective engagement on children’s health, environmental justice, and the linkages between exposure to environmental hazards and the health and welfare of children.2004

Eco-Healthy Child Care® (EHCC) Program

The collection includes 123 nationally recognized health and safety standards that have the greatest impact on environmental health in early care and education settings.Children’s Environmental Health Network is celebrating three decades of protecting children’s health and the environment this year! Thank you for being a part of our community, and for your support- our work wouldn’t be possible without you!
Looking forward, we believe that an even healthier, brighter future is possible for our children. Unfortunately, we still have a long way to go before all children have a healthy environment to thrive in. We’re ready to continue to promote sound public health and child-focused national policy, stimulate prevention-oriented research, educate health professionals, policymakers, and community members, and elevate public awareness of environmental hazards to children.
We need your help to do it. Please consider joining our 30th Anniversary Fundraiser-beginning on Earth Day 2022 and running through the end of the year!
