of environmental health for the 5th Annual Northwest Environmental Health Conference to be held in Portland, Oregon on March 15, 2013. The goals of the conference are to increase the knowledge of participants about environmental health issues, engage and activate
participants, and strengthen our environmental health community through networking. Presenters who are researchers; health care professionals (including allopathic and naturopathic); public health, environmental and occupational health managers; healthcare
procurement specialists; and program managers from community-based organizations are encouraged to submit proposals.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">We seek abstracts that focus on specific strategies to be implemented by health professionals to address and integrate environmental health considerations into their practice and policy work. Case study presentations
are encouraged. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Submissions should clearly relate to one of the tracks listed below. The topics of greatest interest for this year’s conference are: 1) Environmental Factors and Epigenetics; 2) Environmental Justice; 3) Environmentally
Driven Health Disparities; 4) Environmental Toxicants; 5) Built Environment; and 6) Sustainable Practices in Health Care. However, if you have an innovative project or topic that does not quite fit into any of these categories, please submit it. First consideration
will go to projects that are unique, innovative, or otherwise new material. <o:p>
