NEW: Climate Change & Health Workgroup
Advancing Climate Health in Arizona
At the Arizona Nurses Association (AzNA) January Board meeting a new workgroup - the Climate Change and Health Workgroup - was established. By creating a workgroup within the AzNA with the sole purpose of focusing on the impact of climate change and the environment on health it will provide a platform and opportunity for nurses to learn, engage and advocate for healthier environments for Arizona. We are excited to begin this work and for you to join us.
Look for more details about the workgroup and how you may help in the coming weeks. In the meantime, please join us in supporting these efforts from our partners at the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments (ANHE).
