Swetland Center

The environments in which we live, work, study, and play have a great impact on our health. Environmental health science embraces all the physical, social and built infrastructure that affects health. Today, the Swetland Center continues Mary Ann Swetland's legacy by building partnerships to find and scale solutions to redress the environment's disparate impact on low-resource populations in Cleveland and beyond. 

The mission of the Mary Ann Swetland Center for Environmental Health is to study the complex interplay between the environment and health. The center places special emphasis on investigating the environmental determinants of health inequities to translate these findings into policies and practices that promote community and population health.
