EH Heroes in the time of COVID-19

In the coming months, we will dedicate the Day in the Life of an EH Professional Blog to stories of our members responding to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic from the frontlines. Now more than ever, the often unseen work of environmental health professionals is a linchpin to keeping our communities safe, healthy, and informed. Our aim is to shine a light on this essential work through the stories of NEHA members.

This is the moment for which we were trained.

Let us continue to bring a contemporary interpretation to the art of practice. Let our face be one of kindness and empathy. Let our science continue to drive our community’s recovery and resiliency. Let this be the moment we can one day look back on with the knowledge that we worked with all our capacity to safely shepherd the frightened public through the uncertainty and difficult hazards faced.

David T. Dyjack - CEO
