为了赋予工人及其社区的能力，以便他们可以实现自己的工作和生活中的福祉目标。
Values
三个核心价值观描述了Swcoeh将如何完成其使命：
Excellence– Address work-related challenges through a commitment to interdisciplinary and interprofessional approaches aiming for an outstanding standard of excellence and performance.
Collaboration– Foster a network of stakeholders to collaborate with for a greater collective impact.
Integrity– Ensuring every action of the Center is conducted with integrity, honesty, fairness, and consistent with the Center’s mission.
多样性，公平和包容性
为了为每个工人和工作场所改善福祉创造公平的机会，以承认每个人的背景多样性，以便人们可以共同努力，无论他们是谁，他们的外表，外观，他们的想法或相信什么。
这threats to health and well-being posed by occupational and environmental factors are complex and require interdisciplinary and innovative approaches to improve the health of workers and communities. In addition to utilizing the best available research practices and interventions, solutions must also consider geographic, economic, behavioral, cultural and political dimensions. The SWCOEH addresses these threats by providing graduate-level education in environmental and occupational health, conducting research into the causes, prevention and control of disease and injury, engaging in research to practice activities, and providing continuing education and outreach to our stakeholders.
