A Healthier Environment Means Healthier People

The Oregon Environmental Council is dedicated to the principle that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We're proud to work with the Oregon Medical Association, OHSU, the Oregon Legislature and others to create a healthier environment for healthier Oregonians.

We work with health practitioners, researchers and patients understand the linkages between environment and health, and we provide tools and information from well-respected, science-based sources.

Our Annual NW Environmental Health Conference hosts leading scientists, researchers and health care professionals in the field of environmental health and focuses on stimulating robust dialogue regarding the impact of the environment on health and health care practices. Conference presentations are available.

Our Healthy Environment, Healthy Tomorrow e-newsletter links you to the latest information and studies on emerging environmental health concerns, along with tools you can use in your practice. Sign up to receive the quarterly e-newsletter in your inbox. Past issues are also available.
