Episode 190: The Environment, Cancer, and Nurses’ Role in Advocating for Climate Change

As a social determinant of health, a patient’s environmental climate affects cancer risk, access to care, treatment adherence, cancer outcomes, and more. Join ONS member Milagros Elia, MA, APRN, ANP-BC, founder of M. Elia Nature-Based Healthcare Solutions, in Shrub Oak, NY, and Stephanie Jardine, BSN, RN, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, as they discuss the crucial need for a clinical focus on planetary health and an ONS grassroots approach to address and combat climate change and its impact on cancer care.
