Impact of Climate Change on Health – July 2022
Host Episode

Join me for a conversation on the impact of climate change on health. This topic covers more information than in this brief episode and we might be able to get deeper into the subject at a later time. In June, the American Nurses Association (ANA) held its’ annual Membership Assembly in Washington, D.C. The ANA’s voting representatives voted on critical issue statements and one of them was about climate change and how nurses must address this with patients. Climate change impacts the most vulnerable of populations and population health. If you have questions or comments, please email me at thatshealthful@gmail.com.
