In this first webinar, learn about OCCHE's priorities, how children’s hospitals can address the climate crisis, and how climate affects children's health. Dr. Aparna Bole will provide examples of interventions and best practices to help children’s hospitals contribute to climate mitigation and resilience, and climate-informed clinical care.
