Climate Change and Health Care-What is our position?

Climate change poses an urgent threat to human health in the form of scorching temperatures, extreme weather, food and water shortages, air pollution, and an increase in infectious diseases and allergens. A comprehensive health care plan not only includes quality, affordable medical treatment for all, but also a solid prevention program. Recognizing the importance of combining prevention and treatment, SPAN Ohio is committed to addressing climate change and partnering with other organizations that share this commitment.
