6th Annual Conference on Children’s Health and the Environment

Our annual Children’s Environmental Health conference allows the Mid-Atlantic Center for Children’s Health and the Environment (MACCHE) to advance its goals of working with regional partners to mitigate the adverse impact of environmental pollutants on the health of children within the Mid-Atlantic States and beyond.

Previous conferences were held in Washington, DC; Baltimore, MD; Pittsburgh, PA and Reston, VA. This year the conference will be at the Perelman Quadrangle - University of Pennsylvania on September 18th & 19th, 2008.

The first day of the conference will include a guided tour of the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum. On the second day, we will focus on engaging discussions on Children’s Environmental Health.
