Public Health

A majority of Americans think global warming is bad for health, but they don’t know why. Working in conjunction with the San Diego/ Imperial County Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, local nursing schools and other public health providers, STAY COOL is developing a campaign to inform the community about the public health and economic aspects of a changing climate. Air pollution, excessive heat and migrating vector-borne diseases are all part of the serious health threats that will affect millions in our country.
