The time in history that puts us—environmental health professionals—at the intersection of COVID-19 is just ahead.

We will mediate society’s return to normalcy.

Over the next few weeks, environmental health professionals, like Atlas of Greek mythology, will be asked to hoist many burdens upon their shoulders.

Let our science drive our community’s recovery and resiliency. Let this be the moment where we safely shepherd the frightened public into the future.

Let’s create a profoundly memorable moment, one that undeniably demonstrates the value of our profession to the health and prosperity of the communities we serve.
