Dr. Richard Jackson, MD, MPH
State Public Health Officer
California Department of Health Services

Dr. Jackson, currently a scientist with the California Department of Health, was selected to be Director of the CDC’s National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) in 1994, Dr. Richard Jackson is an adjunct professor in the departments of environmental and occupational health at George Washington University and at Emory University, and epidemiology and public health at the University of California, San Francisco, where he has received numerous teaching awards. He worked tirelessly to study and address issues such as cancer, asthma, radiation effects, pesticide exposure, and toxicology, especially lead poisoning in children. One of NCEH’s most important initiatives under Dr. Jackson’s leadership was measuring and reporting the levels of an unprecedented 116 environmental chemicals in people’s bodies in the National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals.

Dr. Jackson has become convinced that a critically important and under-appreciated environmental health issue is that of the “built environment”: our homes, buildings, sidewalks, bicycle trails, roads, creek beds and water systems, parks and play areas, and cities and towns. The built environment shapes behavior and promotes, or damages, our health in ways far more profound than most health professionals realize.
