PEHSU Outreach

The Mount Sinai PEHSU participates in educational, clinical and community activities:

  • Clinical consultations, referrals and medical management
    We evaluate, diagnose, and treat children with diseases of toxic environmental origin.

  • Evidence-based recommendations
    We provide evidence based guidance on children’s environmental health exposures to families, pediatricians, healthcare providers, and government officials.

  • Education and training
    We educate and train students, physicians-in-training, Environmental Pediatricians, pediatric health care providers, parents, community members, governmental agencies, the media, and legislators about children’s environmental health exposures.

  • Community outreach
    We develop lectures for community health fairs, parent meetings and other educational venues.

  • Collaborate in environmental investigations
    We collaborate with local, state, and federal agencies in investigations of community level exposures, providing pediatric environmental health expertise to governmental agencies and serving as a resource that families can turn to for advice about children’s exposure to environmental toxins.
