July 2019
It’s Tracking Week and this year we’re going “Beyond Data”! 
Every July we celebrate the accomplishments of the 26 Environmental Health Tracking grantees with Tracking Week. This year, we highlight our work that supports and benefits from the number crunching with the theme “Beyond Data.”

Making data accessible and usable means building relationships with our partners and constituents. It means finding opportunities to collect and display data for emerging hazards and health concerns. It means following policy discussions to know what issues are most pressing.

To recognize these efforts we will focus on five themes: 
Landing page for maps and data
Unique Data
We find data on issues important to Californians including: agricultural pesticide use, childhood lead prevalence, and water system boundaries that allow users to discover new insights. 
Expanding Partnerships
We reach out to a broad network of collaborators, project partners, and advisors that support and benefit from our work.
Tracking California network
Affecting Policy
We provide information for better decision-making because those that understand air quality, asthma, lead, water quality and all the other environmental health concerns in California will be the best prepared to create policy that protects health.
Faces of Tracking
We tell stories. Data points represent human stories that can help us gain a deeper understanding of the connection between environmental hazards and health.

Celebrating Success!
We celebrate! For 15 years we have made information accessible to the people of California through our reports, website, and project. There’s so much more to explore!
