Excited to say I’ve written a research brief on the communication of environmental risks related to extreme heat, specifically for individuals with chronic conditions. As climate change intensifies, it's vital we address the disparities of heat exposure, prioritize equitable mitigation strategies, and ensure effective communication plans are in place. Thank you Omar A. Escontrías, DrPH, MPH, Silke Schoch, Leah Poffenberger, Breshay Moore, and others at the National Health Council for your work and support as we expand on the intersection of climate and health with a patient-centered lens. I’d love to connect with others who are passionate about this topic and explore ways we can work together to raise awareness! #ClimateChange #ExtremeHeat #ChronicConditions #Research #ClimateCommunication
