The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is kicking of its 9th annual Tracking Awareness Week today as a way to highlight the National Environmental Tracking Program’s mission to “provide information from a nationwide network of integrated health and environmental data that drives actions to improve community health.”
The CDC will be hosting a free webinar Monday through Friday at 2pm EDT and each day will highlight different features of the national website, including demos for the data tools to empower you to be a DATA EXPLORER!
In addition, the Virginia Department of Health, in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will soon be launching the Virginia Environmental Health Tracking Program website! Information about asthma, air quality, COPD, and climate will be included, with more topics to come in the near future.
Be looking for an announcement in the coming weeks and get ready to…
- have the tools to find out about environmental health issues relevant to you and your family
- have the knowledge to make positive improvements in the community where you live
- have health data and environmental data all in one place
We’re excited to provide Virginia with a comprehensive, easy-to-use resource that will empower you to make informed decisions for your family, as well as your community!
