Clinical Intervention and Community Engagement for Climate Change

This New York State Department of Health Commissioner’s Grand Round will convene subject-matter experts to discuss the clinical impacts of climate change. Clinicians might already be aware of the way severe weather, air pollution, and changes in water and food supply manifest in poor health outcomes. We will discuss innovations in New York’s programs, infrastructure, and clinical practice to meet the challenges of climate change.
