Small Bodies, Big Risk: Clean Air, Healthy Homes, Toxic-Free Kids Virtual Briefing

April 7th

MHOA is sharing this training opportunity from Boston Children's Hospital that may be of interest to members. Please contact Boston Children's Hospital with questions.

Local health officials know how housing conditions, environmental exposures, and community health protections shape children’s health and development. Exposure to unhealthy housing conditions and common toxins can affect children’s growth and day-to-day well-being, especially in communities facing longstanding environmental health inequities.Massachusetts has important opportunities to strengthen policies and investments that reduce harmful exposures in the air children breathe, in their homes, and in everyday products.

We hope you can join pediatricians and public health leaders on April 7 for a discussion on how to advance meaningful policies and funding that better protect children and communities from environmental toxins.
