Providing resources for healthcare workers and promoting climate-informed care

Connecting with NH Clinicians

NH Healthy Climate worked with Dartmouth Health Children’s and the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth to develop the ecoAmerica award-winning Climate-informed Pediatric Care (CIPC) to address the growing health impacts of climate change on children and work toward establishing climate-informed care as a standard practice within pediatric clinics.

Building on that work, NH Healthy Climate launched Environmental Health & Resilience for NH Students (EHR for NH Students), a continuing education module and supplemental resources for NH school nurses, tailoring our CIPC program to the unique audience of school nurses on the frontlines of public health.

For more opportunities to learn, check out our educational webinars and curated healthcare workers resources.

To get involved, join one of our volunteer working groups and help develop projects that support NH’s transition to climate-informed care.
