Who We Are
We are students, trainees, early, mid and late-career professionals, and retirees, from a wide variety of healthcare settings, both clinical and nonclinical. We work in independent practices, community hospitals, academic centers, laboratories, professional associations, nonprofits, local and state government, schools, long-term care facilities, and home care. We are from rural and urban NH communities. We are concerned by the impact of climate on individual and population health and see a hopeful way forward through education and advocacy in support of climate solutions.
“As we witnessed throughout 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, our healthcare infrastructure is fragile in many ways we did not anticipate. Injuries and illness due to extreme weather events like flooding, fires, drought, and hurricanes could bring our healthcare system to its knees. As healthcare leaders in New Hampshire, we have every responsibility to mitigate now by taking action, and calling on our political leaders to make the necessary changes to state policy to fast-track New Hampshire toward net-zero carbon emissions and pass legislation on clean energy initiatives.”
