[Alissa Leavitt (Green)]

Registration is open for the 4th Annual NW Environmental Health
Conference.  OPHA is one of the sponsors this year.  The conference
will be February 10, 2012.
The conference hosts leading scientists, researchers, and health
professionals in the multidisciplinary field of Environmental Health
to continue our robust dialogue on the interrelationship between the
environment and health and healthcare practices.

The 2012 conference will focus on environmental chemical contributors
to obesity and diabetes and explore how such health disparities may
arise, in part, because of different levels of exposures to chemicals
of concern.

The 2012 keynote speakers are:

Jerrold Heindel, PhD, an expert on Reproductive & Developmental
Toxicology, and the Acting Chief of the Cellular, Organs & Systems
Pathobiology Branch of the National Institute of Environmental Health
Sciences in Research Triangle, NC

Jose Bravo, the Executive Director for the Just Transition Alliance in
Chula Vista, CA

In addition to our keynotes, the conference will include presentations
from numerous national and regional environmental health experts,
researchers, educators, and advocates.
