Welcome

THANK YOU for attending our third pediatric environmental health symposium, Environmental Health Is a VERB! Building Healthy Children on Friday, March 16, 2007.

We had a spectacular program this year, as well as several exciting related events, including a children's art exhibition, an area bus tour, a walking tour of the LEED-certified University of Texas School of Nursing and Student Community Center--one of the best examples of sustainable architecture in the U.S., and an acclaimed play, Blood Diamonds / Diamantes de Sangre , that explored the human and ethical dimensions of illness in communities potentially caused by exposure to environmental toxicants.

The symposium was specifically designed to be very action oriented, encouraging each attendee to create and implement his or her own list of specific actions to help make communities healthier places for children.
