National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) services

In cooperation with the National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH)/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), NEHA is partnering with the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) to educate environmental public health professionals and local government managers about the strategic advantages of integrating health goals and land use planning and design decisions. Specifically, NEHA and ICMA have developed four case studies highlighting exceptional or creative solutions in local government that integrate environmental health considerations into land use planning and design. Currently, the full Tri-County Health Department, Ingham County Health Department, Seattle-King County Health Department, and Delaware County Health Department case studies are available here.
