In cooperation with CDC/NCEH, NEHA partnered with the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) to educate EH and public health professionals and local government managers about the strategic advantages of integrating health goals and land use planning and design decisions. NEHA and ICMA have developed four case studies highlighting exceptional and creative solutions in local government that integrate EH considerations into land use planning and design. Each case study will be published in the July/August JEH issue alongside a CDC/NCEH commentary about the project. The case studies are also available on the NEHA Web site and include: Tri-County Health Department (Colorado), Ingham County Health Department (Michigan), Seattle-King County Health Department (Washington), and Delaware County Health Department (Ohio). For information on these case studies, please contact Susan Jerles, Project Specialist, at sjerles@neha.org or at 847-563-8242.
