EHOPAC Mission
“The Environmental Health Officer Professional
Advisory Committee (EHOPAC) provides advice
and consultation to the Surgeon General (SG)
on issues relating to the professional practice
and the personnel activities, Civil Service (CS)
and Commissioned Corps (CC), of the
Environmental Health Officer (EHO) category.
The EHOPAC provides similar advisory
assistance to the Chief Environmental Health
Officer (CPO) and, upon request, to the agency
and/or Program Heads of the Public Health
Service (PHS), and to non-PHS Programs that
routinely use PHS personnel.”
