#GWNursing adjunct professor, Erin Athey, has spent decades working in community medicine in Washington, D.C., a career that made her painfully aware of the disparity in care access between the city’s high-income and low-income residents. During the COVID-19 pandemic, while running a series of mobile clinic events with the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA), Athey noticed that DCHA properties often have a small number of offline units reserved for community service providers. An epiphany dawned: Could these unused public housing units be used as “wellness hubs,” providing convenient health care services in the communities that need them most?

Amidst nationwide heat waves, POLITICO's E&E News published an article about stalled legislation that would address the danger to 35 million outdoor laborers who run the risk of heat-related illness and death. According to #GWNursing Assistant Professor, Jen Walsh, who was quoted in the article, “When someone’s body temperature rises that high, it causes brain issues, and they become combative and confused and irritable because the heat is affecting their central nervous system.” Ignoring symptoms can lead to heatstroke, which occurs when the core body temperature rises above 105 degrees and shuts down the central nervous system. It can turn deadly in just 10 to 15 minutes. Read the full article below ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/ghCfrFdS
