Mission
The ECO-Health Center is part of building a future where research supports community-centered interventions to improve health. We support academic and community researchers addressing the impacts of wildfires and extreme heat across California.
Our focus is on how wildfires and extreme heat interact with socioeconomic factors to threaten the health of California residents—and what we can do about it. We aim to work alongside and empower communities to identify risks, co-develop solutions, and advance equitable, climate-resilient health outcomes for all.
