Climate change is a public health crisis, and many medical professional associations are sounding the alarm.

In this episode, Dr. Zanetta shares her experience as an oncologist treating patients during increasingly frequent hurricanes and tropical storms. The Docs talk about the rise of chronic kidney disease due to increasing chronic dehydration, environmental racism, and the devastating impact of natural disasters on US islands and territories.

What can we do?

Dr. Tiffany shares how “living with a lighter touch” and gardening is lowering her stress levels and carbon footprint and Dr. Karen talks about how simple changes like turning off lights and advocating for climate-friendly changes in your workplace can help.

Join us this April for Earth Month! The Docs will be highlighting issues that impact the Earth and your health.
