About the Network

The Michigan Network for Children's Environmental Health (MNCEH) is a collaboration of individuals and organizations from medical, public health, environmental, and education fields. The Network will allow these diverse child advocates to work together on commonly identified policy priorities to protect children's health in Michigan. We will accomplish our goal of improving children's environmental health through outreach, advocacy, and education in our organizations, our communities, and around the state.

In November 2005, a conference called "Out of Harm's Way: Preventing Toxic Threats to Child Development in Michigan" brought together more than 150 health professionals to discuss the intersection between exposure to common environmental chemicals and childhood development, and clinical interventions to reduce neurotoxic threats throughout the lifecycle. The Michigan Network for Children's Environmental Health (MNCEH) was formed at the conference to work for a safer environment for Michigan's children.

The Network continues to expand its membership and work.
