o The Association of Occupational <strong>and</strong> Environmental Clinics (AOEC)<br />

is a network of more than 60 clinics <strong>and</strong> more than 250<br />

individuals committed to improving the practice of occupational<br />

<strong>and</strong> environmental medicine through in<strong>for</strong>mation sharing <strong>and</strong><br />

collaborative research.<br />

The Division of Regional Operations fulfills the <strong>Agency</strong>'s directives at<br />

the regional level by staffing an <strong>ATSDR</strong> Regional Office within each of<br />

the 10 EPA Regional Offices.<br />

The regional representatives are essential liaisons with all<br />

NCEH/<strong>ATSDR</strong> divisions <strong>and</strong> offices <strong>and</strong> facilitate the implementation of<br />

<strong>ATSDR</strong> specific programs in the regions. Through the working<br />

relationships they have established with EPA, other federal <strong>and</strong> state<br />

agencies, individual citizens, <strong>and</strong> community groups, regional<br />

representatives are able to maintain current <strong>and</strong> historic knowledge of<br />

the hazardous sites <strong>and</strong> issues in their regions. This in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

enables <strong>ATSDR</strong> to address regional issues with appropriate sensitivity<br />

<strong>and</strong> make in<strong>for</strong>med decisions.<br />

<strong>ATSDR</strong>'s Regional Offices, along with the states <strong>and</strong> territories that<br />

they cover as well as contact in<strong>for</strong>mation, can be found at:<br />
