• EPHI provides unique, live, Online Deep-Dives on the Flint, Michigan Drinking Water Crisis. A very unfortunate and preventable crisis that has had a devastating impact on a city with more than half of its population being working-class, African Americans. This crisis has resulted in enormous human suffering, billions of dollars in lawsuits, and has also led to criminal Involuntary Manslaughter charges. The objective of these very unique Online Deep-Dives is to share a first-hand account of lessons-learned so you can help prevent another “Flint” from happening. Currently, we have two Flint Online Deep-Dives available:
  • Flint, Michigan Drinking Water Crisis – Lessons Learned (Download brochure here);
