We must unite together to protect our patients. As I walk among the towering trees, listening quietly, breathing deep the moist air, I am reminded of the interconnected web of life. The planet’s health reflects our own. With air pollution on the rise due to industry and climate change, we cannot take clean air for granted. Over time, breathing toxic air may elevate the risk of cancer. Prescribing time in nature cannot lead to healing if it also jeopardizes our health. We, as healthcare providers, can bring a voice to this urgent crisis at the local, regional and national level. Are you ready to unite together to protect our patients?
