Climate Change & Healthcare

Facilitated by: Kimberley R. Barker, MLIS, Librarian for Belonging & Community Engagement.

From the link between worsening air quality and increasing respiratory illness, to the damage of increasingly powerful storms on healthcare facilities; or the link between a rapidly warming earth and infectious diseases, to the negative effects on mental health, the changing climate is affecting humanity. Join Kimberley for an evidence-based overview of the topic to learn more about current challenges, what needs to be done to best meet changing needs, which groups are most impacted, and how some groups are approaching these challenges. (1 CME credit)
