111: Extreme Heat
Manage episode 429340511 series 2617343
It’s been a hot 12 months – according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, June 2024 was the thirteenth consecutive month of record-breaking global temperatures. The Centers for Disease Control estimates approximately 1,200 people in the United States are killed by extreme heat each year, and that number is expected to rise as hotter temps increase the incidences of heat stroke and dehydration, especially among vulnerable populations such as children, unhoused individuals, and the elderly. There is no doubt that climate change and extreme heat represent a substantial public health threat - one that nurses are poised to address as leaders in community health. In this episode, we feature a sampler and playlist of how nurses are at the forefront of addressing and responding to the health and economic impacts of extreme heat and weather-related events.

89: Taking Care: Nursing’s Power to Change Our World
90: Mobile Medical and Mental Health Team
