PSR takes Washington, DC! February 23, 2024
Earlier this month we joined our friends with the Climate Action Campaign, Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health, and American Lung Association in Washington, DC to emphasize the importance of protecting our health and climate. Over 100 health professionals across the country came together to educate and connect with folks on the Hill. PSR staff, board, and health professional members met with 26 Congressional Offices and our Executive Director, Brian Campbell, met with the White House Climate Team and Council on Environmental Quality. Thank you to our Climate Ambassadors and attendees Alan Lockwood, MD; Anne Lockwood, PhD; Susan Racine, MD and Doug Hendren, MD!
