Hello everyone,

Conference

Date: February 10
Location: Portland, Oregon

Details: OPHA is helping host the NW Environmental Health Conference,
which brings together leading scientists, researchers, and health
professionals in the multidisciplinary field of environmental health
to continue our robust dialogue on the interrelationship between the
environment and health and healthcare practices.The 2012 conference
will focus on environmental chemical contributors to obesity and
diabetes and explore how such health disparities may arise, in part,
because of different levels of exposures to chemicals of concern.
Other hosts include the Oregon Environmental Council, Oregon Chapter
of Physicians for Social Responsibility, Health Care Without Harm, and
the Josiah Hill III Clinic. The Conference is sponsored by the
Northwest Health Foundation and the North American Hazardous Materials
Management Association, NW Chapter. For more information and to
