Shared Vision

Statement of Purpose

The National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) have embarked on defining a shared vision for environmental public health. This effort aims to establish common ground on which to build the national and international resource for addressing environmental public health threats and promoting health by improving the environment in which we live. Although many challenges to this endeavor confront us, we are committed to overcoming these challenges together and providing the leadership required to fulfill this vision.
