NYSCHECK and the NYS Pediatric Advocacy Coalition are celebrating Children's Environmental Health Day on Oct 8-please join us.

To celebrate Children’s Environmental Health Day we are asking students and trainees across New York State to share their visions for healthier and happier environments for children. October is Children’s Health Month The NYS Children’s Environmental Health Centers are seeking creative high school, college, graduate, and medical/allied health professional students to share your vision of what a healthy New York looks like to you as we move forward through the COVID-19 era.
