We are Montanans. We are health professionals — nurses, doctors, therapists, aides, veterinarians, hospital employees, researchers, and environmental health specialists. We want good health for all Montanans: individuals, families, and communities.
Like many health care professionals around the world, we realize air pollution and climate change are urgent threats to public health both now and for future generations. We want to help our communities prepare for worsening weather, heat, drought, fires, and diseases. We want to protect our neighbors. We want to bring our expertise, experience, energy, and trusted voices to the legislative and regulatory processes, to see a rapid transition to a carbon neutral society to help save lives and improve community well-being.
