Susan Luck, RN, BS, MA, HNC, CCN, HWNC-BC
Format: Video of Slides

Nursing's legacy, past and present, has always played a role in environmental health advocacy and in creating healthier communities, local to global.

Today, with mounting research on how our environment influences health throughout the lifecycle, how do we, as nurses and as health educators, integrate this often missing link into our practice.

We will explore the links to many chronic issues we address today including obesity, neurological conditions, and healthy aging and the role of epigenetics.

This session will introduce an environmental assessment tool to use with patients, families, and communities.
