A Health Partners Working Group (HPWG) was convened to help integrate health considerations into the study's proposals for land use, site design, infrastructure priorities, citizen outreach, and other issues as they emerge during the planning process. The HPWG will identify research and best-practices on the health-environmental relationship, brainstorm elements of the study's proposals and identify potential implementation measures and partners. The HPWG will also work with the project’s Community Working Group (CWG) and Technical Advisory Group (TAG). Members represent the following organizations:
