Overview
Join NACCHO on July 28, 2026, from 2:00–3:00 PM ET, for a Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC) Network webinar featuring guest speaker Ana Pomales, MSc, an environmental health scientist at the National Center for Environmental Health at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Information about effective environmental public health (EPH) practices is often not published or available online, so practitioners frequently spend time searching for or recreating solutions. The National Center for Environmental Health’s Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice (DEHSP) developed the EPH Practice Gateway, an online repository of evidence‑informed practices and tools. Join this webinar to learn about the repository and discover adaptable solutions for local implementation.
