Climate change in the context of healthcare can feel overwhelming but it doesn’t have to be paralyzing. We’re diving into the intersection of climate change and antimicrobial resistance with a focus on practical, actionable steps healthcare organizations can take. Drs. Shreya Doshi, Andrea Pallotta and Preeti Jaggi join Dr. Whitney Buckel to talk about what’s real, what matters for healthcare, and where stewardship teams can make a meaningful impact.
