Every year, the Centers for Health, Work & Environment (CHWE) and the Mountain & Plains Education and Research Center (MAP ERC) at the Colorado School of Public Health organize and host the Western States Occupational Network (WestON) meeting. This meeting is made possible through collaboration with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Western States Division and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE).
Held annually on the CU Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado, this event provides a vital platform for epidemiologists, state and local health department officials, statistics coordinators, and other public health professionals from across the western United States to convene and share occupational health insights. The meeting fosters collaboration on critical issues related to occupational health and safety, worker protection, and the development of effective programs aimed at improving public health outcomes in the region.
