The headlines keep coming: heat waves, floods, storms, a super El Niño.

This summer, our new #HealthyClimateAmerica series, "Extreme Weather Explained," takes a closer look at what it all means for our health and communities.

Wildfires in 2025 were the costliest on record, with a price tag of at least $54 billion—a conservative estimate that doesn't include indirect losses like missed workdays, business closures, and added pressure on health care systems. https://t.co/FMG3abheE8

The world around us shapes the health within us.

Here’s what a career in the operating room taught me about where disease really begins, and why nature may be one of our most powerful prescriptions:

When they cause harm, health professionals recognize the need for accountability. Shouldn’t fossil fuel companies?

In a new #ClimateCheckup, Drs. Lisa Del Buono & Steven Schroeder examine Big Oil immunity and the familiar playbook behind it. @medpagetoday https://t.co/9fkCQD8lbo

☀️ It's the Friday before Memorial Day, which also means it's #DontFryDay!

We’re closing out #HeatSafety Week with a reminder that protecting your skin is protecting your health. Practice sun safety and help others do the same. @HeatGov https://t.co/4Vd1XG68bd

[Healthy Climate Wisconsin @WIClimateHealth]

It can be difficult to understand how regulatory decisions impact our health and climate. So we created a board game- 'the Real Game of Life'- for players to experience how different community members experience policy.

Want to play this with your students or team? Let us know!

[The Medical Society Consortium on Climate & Health @docsforclimate]

@WIClimateHealth This is amazing! What an innovative and engaging way to connect regulatory decisions to real-world impact on communities.

[Florida Clinicians for Climate Action (FCCA) @FLClinicians]

According to the CDC, the sun’s UV rays can damage your skin in as little as 15 minutes. Make sure you don’t fry in the sun today! #HeatSafety

[The Medical Society Consortium on Climate & Health @docsforclimate]

#HeatSafety Week may be almost over, but the work to cool our communities continues!

In a new #HealthyClimateAmerica episode, Grace Wickerson highlights solutions emerging nationwide and previews a heat policy agenda coming soon from @scientistsorg.

🌡️ During extreme heat, it’s important to check on neighbors, family, friends, and coworkers, especially those at highest risk. Staying connected, knowing how to reduce exposure, or simply raising awareness can make all the difference. https://t.co/mlJeUWJvR1 @HeatGov #HeatSafety

[The Medical Society Consortium on Climate & Health @docsforclimate]

🌡️ #HeatSafety Week has us thinking about all of the simple ways we can keep each other safe AND the need to start before the heat arrives by ensuring preparedness is equitably woven into the design of our neighborhoods, workplaces, and systems. @HeatGov

[The Medical Society Consortium on Climate & Health @docsforclimate]

Heat is a leading cause of weather-related fatalities each year. The good news is that illnesses and deaths are largely preventable with planning, education, and action. Learn the signs so you can help yourself and others stay safe as temperatures rise. #HeatSafety (2/2)

[The Medical Society Consortium on Climate & Health @docsforclimate]

🌡️ With much of the East Coast experiencing an early-season heatwave and millions of people facing highs in the 90s, #HeatSafety Week couldn't have come at a more critical time. @HeatGov

Stay tuned for tips to protect your community. (1/2)

We urge the EPA to withdraw its proposed two-year delay of Tier 4 vehicle emissions standards. This pattern of dismantling protections does not serve our patients, taxpayers, or the broader economy.
