Join YCCCH for a conversation with Suzi Ruhl, JD, MPH, the Senior Research Scientist at Yale School of Medicine’s Child Study Center and Director of Policy at the Elevate Policy Lab at the Yale School of Public Health.
Suzi Ruhl’s interests are to strengthen child, maternal and family mental health and social support, and equitably build individual and community resiliency by tackling highest priority conditions created by health, economic and environmental challenges. Ms. Ruhl co-founded Brownfields to Healthfields, a community driven, multi-stakeholder approach to transform contaminated properties into community spaces that meet essential needs. Ms. Ruhl was a founding member of the Natural Disaster Subcommittee of the Federal Interagency Working Group on Environmental Justice, created by EO 12898. Prior to her Yale appointment, she served as Senior Counsel, US EPA Office of Environmental Justice.
