On May 21, 2024, the Indiana Joint Asthma Coalition (InJAC) hosted “At Home in the Environment” to share local resources about Indiana forests, find out about what work is being done in Indianapolis around environment and health and research that supports the idea that a healthy environment creates healthier people, especially those who have diagnoses of asthma and other respiratory related conditions.

Three speakers representing Health by Design, The IU Environmental Resilience Institute and the Indiana Forest Alliance spoke about the role of the built environment in achieving healthy people and places; what’s in our dust; and healthy forests, healthy people.
