USEHA’s purpose is to promote the highest degree of skill, efficiency, and professional competency among all environmental health personnel serving in the Uniformed Services of the United States. We also seek to provide for a mutual exchange of knowledge and experience between members of the different Uniformed Services.  USEHA educational sessions focus on environmental health issues that affect individuals served by or working within the uniformed services to include the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, U.S. Public Health Service, and U.S. Space Corps.
