ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

June 7 and 8, 2010

This is the first national conference for nurses addressing the relationship between human health and the environment. Learn about the growing movement that is being created by nurses as they “green” their health care institutions, engage in scientific inquiry, integrate environmental health practices into nursing assessments and interventions, and create and support policies that protect human health and the environment.

Join us as we:

• Foster a community of nurses engaged in protecting human health and the environment
• Explore policy and legislative opportunities related to environmental health and nursing
• Expand the number of nurse educators committed to incorporating environmental health into existing curricula
• Develop an environmental health research agenda for nurse researchers
• Promote evidence-based, environmental health practices
