PHS in the Queen City: a watershed development

For over a century, Cincinnati, Ohio, has been at the center of the nation's efforts to control water pollution. Site and subject of PHS activities to understand, manage, and prevent pollution, Cincinnati now carries on this public health legacy as home to EPA's water pollution programs. From ante-bellum way station for primary care and the seat of early 20th century scientific contributions to vibrant center for the development of environmental health programs after World War II, the Queen City has truly provided a number of watershed developments in the history of public health.
