Overview

Environmental health and climate change are important social drivers of health. Our environment encompasses where we live, work, learn, and play. Environmental issues like pollution, wildfires, extreme heat, flooding, and storms can cause adverse health outcomes that impact some communities more than others, an important issue of health equity. Community Health Centers are uniquely poised and have various opportunities to address environmental and climate health in their local areas.

NACHC is working to equip health centers to protect their patients and communities. Learn more about our Environmental Health work.
