- Do you believe that human health is linked to the environments within which we work & live?
- Are you concerned about the consequences climate change has on the health of our most vulnerable populations?
- Are you concerned with health equity & wonder why nurses continue to advocate for planetary health as a nursing concern & policy priority?
Join us to explore these and other issues at the Butterfield Upstream Event on Tuesday, April 12, 2022.
In 2002, Patricia Butterfield published “Upstream reflections on environmental health: an abbreviated history and framework for action.” This seminal publication called for nursing practice to consider the social, economic, and environmental origins of health problems that manifest at the population level. 20 years later, we celebrate Dr. Butterfield’s contributions to sustainability in health care by hosting the inaugural Upstream lecture, April 12.
