🚨 The EPA is delaying the enforcement of critical air pollution protections. These standards keep our air safe by limiting harmful pollutants like ozone and particulate matter. Our communities will face worse asthma, heart & lung disease, and threats to children & seniors. We must stand up for clean air. #CleanAirNow 🌎💨

We need to stop the Trump administration from turn

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.

Climate change is impacting our communities every

Climate change is impacting our communities every day, yet the Trump administration is pushing oil, coal and gas and making the problem worse. We are stronger together - join us this Earth Day to demand clean energy solutions and fight the climate crisis. #OurPowerOurPlanet

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.

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.

$4/gallon. $20 more per fill-up. Hundreds more per month. Trump promised to cut energy costs in HALF. Instead, he started a war with Iran that choked off 20% of the world's oil supply, and gas prices shot up nearly $1/ gallon in just 4 weeks. The highest gas prices in four years. And his response? "If they rise, they rise."

The math is simple: #CleanerCars + #CleanerTrucks

The math is simple: #CleanerCars + #CleanerTrucks = lower costs. This budget from @POTUS ignores skyrocketing gas prices and Americans’ economic struggles, doubling down on oil dependence and higher prices. Congress must expand, not cut clean transportation

Please join our partners at Castner Incorporated on Friday, April 17th at 12-1:30 ET for Reviving Rural America: A Cross-Disciplinary Panel

The event will feature legal and rural policy scholar Ann M. Eisenberg, who will discuss her book Reviving Rural America: Toward Policies for Resilience. She will then be joined by an incredible panel of environmental health nurse scientists, including Dr. Sarah Oerther, Dr. Shawna Beese, Amberlee Miller, and Dr. Jed Hansen, Together they'll discuss difficult questions: How do contaminated wells, crumbling infrastructure, and economic abandonment show up in nursing practice? What does "holistic stewardship" of rural communities look like for nursing researchers? And what will it take for nurses, researchers, and policy makers to truly serve the people who keep the country fed?
