John,
Our health care system is not immune from the climate crisis that is wreaking havoc and destruction across the country. Almost 90 percent of Americans live in counties hit by a climate disaster within the last 10 years, and more than 600 U.S. hospitals are at risk of closure.
That’s why Pramila has partnered with Senator Edward Markey to introduce the Granting Resources for Eliminating Emissions Now in (GREEN) Hospitals Act. This legislation would invest $105 billion to revive a New Deal-era program to modernize and weatherize health facilities to reduce emissions and protect public health.
Now more than ever, we need to prepare for the aftermath of climate change and ensure everyone has access to life saving health care. This bill ensures Americans have access to healthcare before, during, and after climate disasters and extreme weather events.
Pramila said it best, “As hospitals across America provide critical lifesaving care every day, we must ensure they are able to operate under severe weather conditions that have become far too prevalent due to the climate crisis.”
Our health care facilities cannot weather our communities through the literal and proverbial storm if they don’t have the infrastructure to protect us now and in the future. That’s why the GREEN Hospitals Act is a critical step towards a health system that recognizes that climate justice is health justice.
Together,
Team Pramila
