Healthcare Provider

The Baylor College of Medicine Environmental Health Service (BCM-EHS) has been involved with educating health care professionals (and aspiring professionals) and the public about the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of environmentally induced or exacerbated illness for more than ten years. The BCM-EHS will soon begin offering clinical services in environmental health, with a focus on helping patients with difficult-to-control asthma.

Our mission is to increase the scientific understanding of asthma/allergic diseases across all ages, to translate these findings into innovative approaches and to implement these approaches in the asthma community through an integrated Institute of scientists, clinicians, educators, patients and the community, thereby improving the health of asthma patients.
