PACE-EH

What is PACE-EH? 

Protocol for Assessing Community Excellence in Environmental Health (PACE-EH) is a community involvement tool to guide local health o­fficials in conducting community-based environmental health assessments.

The PACE-EH process is a valuable tool for communities that want to improve their environmental health. It is a collaborative process that engages community members, local government, and other stakeholders in identifying and addressing environmental health issues. The process has been used by communities across the United States to improve the health of their residents.

PACE-EH was developed by the National Association of County and City Officers (NACCHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
