The spring and fall allergy seasons have grown longer and more severe over the last few decades. That’s one of the observations three experienced nursing professionals offer in this brief on-camera discussion.
Join Nature Change contributor, Dave Poinsett in this short video as he questions three noted health care professionals from the Traverse City Area, including: Kathy Birdsall, RN; Jill Polmateer, NP; and Jeanine Easterday, RN. Focusing on the health impacts of environmental change, these long-time nursing professionals reflect on the impacts of the region’s changing climate, increasing storminess, and the reduction of tree canopy in the expanding urban areas of Traverse City.
Great piece from local nurses on health impacts of climate change. Thanks VERY much for airing it. I encourage any interested nurse to consider participating in the Nurses Climate Challenge:https://nursesclimatechallenge.org/
