Extreme Heat & Health: Clinical and Public Health Strategies

Extreme Heat & Health: Clinical and Public Health Strategies
Extreme heat kills more people each year than all other extreme weather events combined and disproportionately affects vulnerable communities. Fortunately, many, if not most, heat-related illnesses and deaths are preventable. This course, presented by APHA and Climate for Health, will equip you with tools to engage clinicians, public health professionals, policymakers and community members in taking action.
