🚨 NEW YORK - Long Island’s drinking water is 🚨 NEW YORK - Long Island’s drinking water is under threat as the EPA delays stricter PFAS regulations—despite growing evidence linking these toxic chemicals to cancer, immune disorders, and developmental harm.

💬 Jessica Varghese, PhD, RN, ANHE’s JEDI Committee Chair & 2023–2024 Nurse Fellow, is quoted in the article, highlighting the serious health risks of PFAS exposure and calling for stronger protections.

With the EPA also facing massive budget cuts, local leaders and health advocates are demanding action. Our communities deserve clean, safe water—not rollbacks.

Health organizations have the power to set positiv Health organizations have the power to set positive examples. Just like health leaders once stood up to Big Tobacco, it’s time to stand up to Big Oil that makes people sick. When hiring advertising, marketing & design companies, we can choose to work only with agencies that don’t take money from fossil fuel companies. More than 30 influential organizations representing the interests of over 12 million health professionals worldwide have already signed a commitment to no longer work with PR and ad agencies that also provide services to the fossil fuel industry.
