The Institute
exists to achieve the service mission of the Great Lakes Centers. Issues
of environmental justice are central to our mission. While we take
a universal approach to improving, promoting, and maintaining the health
of workers and communities, we devote special attention to the problems
and needs of minority and disadvantaged workers and communities, the
specific occupational and environmental safety and health needs of
our region, and to the development of innovative and interdisciplinary
approaches to addressing these needs.
Our services
are provided on a not-for-profit, fee-for-service or contract basis.
Proceeds from the Institute are used to fund education, research, and
outreach programs of the Great Lakes Centers. |
