Iowa now joins the 22 states and New York City that already are tracking and reporting environment and health data as part of the Tracking Network. CDC*s funding enables the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) to systematically collect environmental health data statewide. IDPH will use this data within the state and also provide it to CDC for use in the agency*s expanding nationwide environmental health surveillance system. *We*re excited to be able to offer funding to Iowa to join the Tracking Network. This is an important step in moving toward our goal of a nationwide Environmental Public Health Tracking Network,* said Judith Qualters, Ph.D., chief of CDC*s Environmental Health Tracking Branch. *Participation from more states helps strengthen this innovative tool and offers a more complete picture of our nation*s environmental health.* During Iowa*s first two years in the Tracking Network, IDPH will focus on planning and capacity building. Iowa then is expected to implement its statewide tracking network in 2012. For more information, please visit the Tracking Network athttp://www.cdc.gov/ephtracking.
