Over 600 ANHE Members in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C. are working to protect clean air, water, and soil for the health of our communities in the Mid Atlantic region. We host events, share information about what’s going on, and create opportunities for nurses to talk to their legislators and each other about all things environmental health.

Highlights
April 28th – May 2nd, 2025 was Climate Week in Washington DC
DC Climate Week (DCCW) established Washington, DC, as the nation’s center of climate innovation by providing opportunities to engage with policymakers, fund climate solutions, and showcase cutting-edge technologies. Through curated workshops, panels, exhibitions, and networking events, we transformed our nation’s capital into a global model for climate action! Last spring, we launched with over 4,700 participants, 150 events, and 200 volunteers driving bold ideas across our nation’s capital. Now is your chance to help shape this growing movement.
