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)

Environmental Health Officer (EHO) category.
The EHOPAC provides similar advisory
assistance to the Chief Environmental Health
Officer (CPO) and, upon request, to the agency
