Health Care Providers

The Community Engagement Core (CEC) strives to support healthcare providers as they work to address the environmental health needs of patients, families and communities across the state. With industry and agriculture present throughout the state, Kentucky is home to many unique environmental exposures, and could utilize more region-specific resources to support healthcare professionals in their efforts. The CEC actively works to bring resources to our healthcare providers in multiple formats to support collaboration and enhance environmental health literacy within the commonwealth.
