Climate Changes Health
Clinicians are among the most credible messengers on the importance of environmental protection and climate action. All of us can think of doctor or nurse we’ve interacted with at some point, and who we trusted enough to turn to for help and guidance when we’re sick.
Ohio Clinicians for Climate Action is a statewide group of doctors, nurses, and other health professionals who know that how we treat the environment affects our health. OCCA clinicians regularly advocate for their patients through offering credible, health-based perspectives on environmental policy.
You will find OCCA participants in your local paper, in the halls of the Statehouse testifying against efforts to roll back clean energy progress, and on social media raising awareness about the way clean air, water, and land affects the overall well-being of Ohio families.
