Nurses see the health impacts of environmental har

Nurses see the health impacts of environmental harm every day, in our clinics, hospitals, and communities. From worsening air quality to toxic chemical exposure, these threats are not abstract. They are showing up in our patients.

That’s why we’re coming together for ANHE Virtual Hill Days on May 13–14. Join us to meet with legislators and advocate for clean air, safe water, climate action, and protections that put health first.

This is a critical moment to speak out against rollbacks that put communities at risk and to push for policies that protect both people and the planet.

Diesel pollution and climate change are urgent pub

Diesel pollution and climate change are urgent public health threats with direct impacts on respiratory, cardiovascular, and overall community health. Nurses are uniquely positioned on the front lines of care to recognize, address, and advocate against these environmental risks.

This webinar, hosted on the anniversary of the release of the Clearing the Air Report in Pennsylvania, will explore how diesel emissions contribute to poor air quality and health disparities, the growing health impacts of climate change, and why nursing leadership is essential in driving change. Participants will gain practical insights on education, advocacy strategies, and ways to integrate environmental health into clinical practice.

Join us on Tuesday, May 5th, 11 AM EDT to learn how PA nurses can play a critical role in protecting patient health and advancing a cleaner, healthier future.

In 2021, New Yorkers voted to add an amendment detailing the right to a clean and healthy environment in the state’s Bill of Rights. Since its passage, key government leaders have been trying to undermine and rollback the Green Amendment, including New York Attorney General Letitia James. Attorney General James has gone to court with legal arguments that seek to undermine and narrow it leading to very troubling court outcomes.

While this is happening in New York, it could very easily happen in other states that pass Green Amendments. Politicians, who are in the pockets of oil and gas or just don’t have their constituents best interest at heart, will do anything to undermine the safety and autonomy of communities. Don’t get it twisted, though: Everyone deserves a clean and healthy environment.
