Join Dr. Bret Andrews and Dr. Beth Ann Malow for an engaging session on how climate change affects brain health. We’ll examine links between extreme heat, wildfires and air pollution with neurologic diseases such as stroke, dementia and Parkinson’s. The discussion will highlight disparities impacting vulnerable communities and explore the climate and health benefits of clean energy. Our speakers will also share opportunities for clinician advocacy and institutional action. This lecture offers science-based insights and practical steps to advocate health in a changing world.
People are struggling to breathe, and inhalers are part of the solution. But inhalers can also contribute a significant portion of carbon emissions. There may be choices available that are clinically equivalent and have a significantly lower carbon footprint.
Presenters: Dr. Gregg Furie; Dr. Samantha Green; and Kathleen Silveira, PharmD
