We focus on health risks associated with the physical environment and identify evidence-based practices and policies.
About us
The NCCEH is one of six centres created to foster linkages within the public health community. This centre focuses on the health risks associated with the physical environment and identifies evidence-based interventions to reduce those risks. All centres are funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada through the National Collaborating Centres for Public Health program. The NCCEH is located at the BC Centre for Disease Control in Vancouver. Our function is to: - synthesize, translate, and exchange knowledge for environmental health practitioners and policy-makers; - identify gaps in research and practice knowledge; and - build capacity through networks of practitioners, policy-makers, and researchers. We regularly conduct environmental scans and evaluations to inform our work plan. In addition, we have an Advisory Board comprised of senior environmental health professionals. Our website (ncceh.ca) showcases our work and provides a vehicle for practitioners, policy-makers, and researchers to network and share information.
