Mission and Goals Heading link
The Mission of the Region 5 PEHSU is to be a source of medical information and advice on the influence of environmental exposures on children’s health. We work with physicians, parents, schools, community groups, and public health agencies to address reproductive and children’s environmental health issues.
Our Goals include 1) providing clinical services and consultation to ill children and their families, 2) providing consultative services to pediatricians and other health care providers, 3) providing guidance and consultation on environmental health issues to agencies at all levels of government — local, state, and federal, and 4) playing an important role in training future leaders in environmental pediatrics.
Region 5 states include Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
