ClimateRx: Climate Action in the Clinical Setting
Clinicians and public health workers are in the front lines of the climate crisis, seeing the real impacts on patients and communities. But it can be difficult to engage with others about these facts – visits are already stretched thin and there is a lot going on. ClimateRx is here to help! This new tool is developed to provide health care workers with a way to engage on climate and health in a non-interruptive, non-confrontational way.
Learn more with our panel of experts Dr. Stefan Wheat, MD, Instructor of Emergency Medicine at University of Washington, Bruce Bekkar, MD, Fellow, Climate for Health, ecoAmerica and Katherine Catalano, MS, Deputy Director, Center for Climate, Health and Equity, American Public Health Association.
