Clients of Environmental Health Consulting include the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, pharmaceutical companies, physician associations,
and the Chicago Biomedical Consortium. Services include translating
complex scientific information into fact sheets, writing sales force

We specialize in science communication and risk assessment. We offer
flexibility and resourcefulness, which stem from our extensive experience
as consultants and as members of the public health community. We understand
the questions and/or problems that you have and we will work with you
to find the solutions.
For EHC, multimedia means communicating to the public via a combination of written, visual, and audio means.
We have completed a variety of medical writing projects. Lara Pullen leads the group with extensive medical writing experience, industry ghost writing, literature reviews, research grants, medical meeting coverage, and editorials. In addition, she has prepared training modules and PowerPoint presentations for pharmaceutical product launches. Her training, with a Ph.D. in Immunology, brings that solid scientific experience to your project.
As scientists, environmentalists, and people, we believe that the communication of knowledge is the culmination of work well done. Health is improved when the doctor and the patient have access to understandable information. The neighborhood flourishes when families are armed with the latest information about what they eat, the air they breathe, and the community services avaialble. EHC provides outreach to expectant mothers, Girl Scouts, pharmaceutical representatives, and doctors.
Currently, Environmental Health Consulting's largest contract is with U.S. EPA Region 5 to continue development of the Toxicity and Exposure Assessment for Children's Health (TEACH). This project includes an interactive database of summaries of scientific studies relevant to childhood exposure to environmental chemicals. The TEACH project also includes chemical-specific summaries that recapitulate and interpret the literature available in the database. This site is live on the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/teach.
We have experience using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to accurately communicate scientific data and its
implications. GIS is mapping software that links information about where things
are with information about what things are like. GIS provides you with
many layers of information in one visual space that can be customized
to your goals.
We know that the diagnosis of autism marked the beginning of a journey that you may not have chosen to take. During this phase of your life, you will learn about the nervous system, developmental psychology, and childhood education. You will discover how to form and nurture a team of talented people to help your child. Above all, you will become an expert on which therapies are most important for your child. Healing Thresholds was created to help you learn all of these things as quickly and efficiently as possible. Why not begin by taking a tour of our site?
