Arizona Public Media (AZPM) and Government Technology featured the launch of the Region 9 TCTAC, the West EJ Center at the University of Arizona, at the Pima County Health Department Abrams Clinic. Iman Hakim, the Dean of the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health at the University of Arizona, said the initiative has built a capacity to bring resources and programs that will contribute to environmental equity for all.
“In public health, we are always working to create a more just and equitable world and environmental justice is foundational for our mission," Hakim told AZPM. “Here at the University of Arizona, our public health and environmental research are recognized as some of the nation’s finest.”
