We have over 400 ANHE members in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas! Let’s join together to assure that our patients, families, and communities have access to a healthy environment to live, work, learn, worship, and play. 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.
