The Oregon EPHT Program is working to develop a statewide network of health and environmental data that will drive actions to improve the health of communities.

Oregon is also one of 23 states funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that comprise a larger national network of EPHT programs.

By bringing together environmental and health information sources, scientists, communities, policymakers, and the public will be better equipped to answer fundamental questions about the relationships between environmental exposures and health effects.

Additional cancer data and a new mapping feature have been added to the CDC's National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network. The Tracking Network now contains some cancer data for 42 states and Washington, D.C.
