Abstract

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. UIC is part of a national network of regional PEHSUs. Learn more about the PEHSU network here.
