journalist in the country. Together we'll spotlight how warming
weather impacts our health.
It's hard not to be thankful for warm winter days when you live in
Minnesota, but unfortunately our warming climate brings new health
risks with it.
Please join US on Tuesday, April 7th for a conversation between Don
SHELBY AND LOCAL PHYSICIANS FROM Health Professionals for a Healthy
Climate [https://www.hpforhc.org/] about how Minnesota's changing
climate is leading to increased rates of asthma, allergies and
vector-borne diseases like West Nile and Lyme — as well as what we
can do about it.
Each one of US has the power to influence how others in our community
behave
