“For almost 100 years, the technical and managerial skills of US Public Health Service Engineers have led to innovative solutions that significantly improved the health of Americans. However, there are still many health-related issues that need to be addressed by engineers willing to take up the challenge of protecting, promoting, and advancing the health and safety of our Nation.”
