Division of Children's Environmental Health

The Mount Sinai Pediatric Environmental Health Center of Excellence proposed in 2003 to establish a statewide, regionalized children’s environmental health system of eight Children's Environmental Health Centers & Offices in New York State, one of which is located in Stony Brook's Graduate Program in Public Health. The mission of Division of Children's Environmental Health is to be a clinical, research, educational, and community referral center for pediatric environmental diseases on Long Island, working in collaboration with the other seven statewide Division of Children's Environmental Health centers.

Benchmark Accomplishments:

  • Secure additional funding in order to sustain the program at Stony Brook as part of the statewide system.
  • Develop research collaboration within the statewide system, the Stony Brook community, and the national pediatric environmental health community
  • Improve our ability to triage telephone calls and schedule clinical visits in order to serve our Long Island Community and their environmental health needs.
  • Develop pediatric environmental health education programs targeting the medical and lay communities
  • Develop a fellowship in Pediatric Environmental Medicine
