Health Impact Assessment

Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a process that helps evaluate the potential health effects of a plan, project, or policy before it is implemented. Our team can use this powerful tool to help you to understand what the potential positive and negative health and equity implications might be for your proposed plan.

Sustainability & Natural Environments

The health of our natural environments is intimately linked with our own well-being. To be most effective, action to build resilience to the risks posed by climate change and to plan for sustainable communities needs to bridge silos and consider both health and equity. We can help build those connections.
