Welcome to DEHE's Environmental Health Services Program

The Environmental Health Services (EHS) Program focuses on providing public health and safety education, and technical assistance to communities and tribal health organizations. The program is composed of four parts: general environmental health, institutional environmental health, risk management, and injury prevention. Each of these programs provides an array of services in an attempt to meet DEHE's goal of "providing sustainable environmental health solutions, in partnership with the people we serve, to create healthy and safe Native communities."
