Health and Environmental Funders Network

Annual Meeting

Plenary Panel: Science and Health Communications.

Antonia Juhasz speaks on a plenary panel on science and health communications at the Health and Environmental Funders Network annual meeting in South Dakota.

HEFN is a one-of-a-kind philanthropy-supporting organization (PSO) that focuses exclusively on environmental health and justice. We mobilize philanthropy to accelerate solutions to create a healthier future for all, especially those affected first and worst by environmental harm. Held in Rapid City, South Dakota, 2026 Annual Meeting at the base of the Black Hills. South Dakota offers a powerful context for these conversations. From uranium mining in the Black Hills to pipelines and eminent domain, the region highlights how land, democracy, community, and environmental health are deeply intertwined.
