Bridging Silos

Focusing on environmental health disparities, the book explores collaborative efforts among community groups, academics, and government agencies to combat inequities faced by low-income and marginalized urban populations. It presents case studies from Rochester, Duluth, and Southern California, highlighting initiatives to tackle issues like childhood lead poisoning, unhealthy living conditions, and pollution from commercial activities. Through these examples, the author emphasizes the importance of cross-sector coalitions in creating effective policy changes for healthier communities.
