The 2013 conference will focus on epigenetics: how environmental factors, particularly chemicals in our environment, can change the expression of our genes, impacting health and disease over generations. Epigenetics is emerging as a crucial topic, especially
in pediatric healthcare. The National Institutes of Health plans to make transgenerational impacts of endocrine disruptors a priority for research funding. Other presentations will cover topics as diverse as environmentally driven health disparities and sustainable
practices in health care. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
