The Western States Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit (WS PEHSU) is one of 10 regional federally funded clinical and educational centers. We provide expert clinical and public health evaluations of pregnant people, children and communities with suspected environmental health problems or concerns. In addition, PEHSUs are a source of medical information and advice on environmental conditions that influence the health of pregnant people and children.
PEHSUs are academically based, typically at university medical centers, and are located across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. These PEHSUs form a network that is capable of responding to requests for information throughout North America and offer advice on prevention, diagnosis, management, and treatment of environmentally-related reproductive and pediatric health effects.
