Course summary
In 2019, the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments launched the first-of-its-kind Environmental Health Nurse Fellowship program. Funded by the Kresge Foundation, the program focused on environmental health equity and justice, specifically addressing the disproportionate impact of environmental exposures on vulnerable groups. Paired with expert environmental health nurse mentors, throughout the year the fellows not only worked on community projects, they also worked on educating health professionals and colleagues in their communities about environmental health in order to expand knowledge and engagement of health professionals on critical environmental health issues. This webinar showcases the experiences of the ANHE Environmental Health Nurse Fellows in cohort 2 and the impacts of their work.
