FLCEHC Webinar

Email FLCEHC@urmc.rochester.edu to request email announcements about upcoming webinars.

The FLCEHC Webinar Series goal is to improve health care providers’ capacity to:

• Provide anticipatory guidance on environmental health (EH) issues to pregnant and breastfeeding women and families with children.
• Answer questions patients bring about EH topics (or know where to easily find answers).
• Connect families with resources in their community.
• Become aware of specific environmental health issues in our communities.
• Refer cases to the Finger Lakes Children’s Environmental Health Center as needed.

Note: CME credit is only available to those who participate in the live webinar and cannot be claimed for viewing past recorded sessions.
