WEHN’s Annual Conference on Health and the Environment

WEHN’s annual The Health & Environment Series; Making the Connection conference highlights the connection between health and the environment. It provides a unique education experience for health professionals, students, and academics to learn about current scientific research, public health implications, and clinical correlations surrounding environmental issues in Wisconsin. This event will be in-person and virtual, and CE credits will be offered.

This year we are also offering a unique opportunity to have a conversation about fluoride practices with Bruce Lanphear MD, MPH. His talk, The end of fluoridation? A new look at an old public health experiment, will explore the history, science, and ethics of fluoridation, what we have learned, what remains uncertain, and what the future may hold for this public health practice. This event will be in-person only.
