ANHE member nurses are making moves! 👀

Recently both Nancy Stolte and Dr. Adelita Cantu have been interviewed at local press events regarding the impacts environmental pollutants on our health.

Nancy Stolte shared her comments on the pressure needed on the Biden administration EPA to tighten rules on coal power. 🏭

Dr. Adelita Cantu spoke in Texas on the effects of coal-burning plants on our health and planet.

Nurses, doctors and healthcare workers have special insight knowledge on all the various aspects to patients health. Standing up against harm to the environment comes from a place of deep understanding that environmental health is tied to our physical health and wellness.

We applaud our member nurses for joining in the fight for environmental justice! 🌏✨
