Who We Are

Clinicians Educating Clinicians on the Health Impacts of Heat, Pollution, and Extreme Weather Events

As clinicians in Florida, we educate and engage clinicians and everyday Floridians to protect their communities against the health harms of heat, pollution, and extreme weather events-- both now and for the future-- with fair and timely public health responses.

We launched Florida Clinicians for Climate Action in 2018, because we realized that we could overcome our challenges much more efficiently by working together.
