Children's Environmental Health Centers of New York at Stony Brook (CEHCNY at SB)

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 in New York State (CEHCNY), one of which is located in Stony Brook's Graduate Program in Public Health. The mission of CEHCNY 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 CEHCNY centers.

Benchmark Accomplishments:

  • Secure additional funding in order to sustain the CEHCNY 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
