What does it take to create a healthcare system that's ready for a changing climate? And how do we help patients stay safe outside of the clinic and hospital walls? To help us explore these questions and more, we're excited to welcome Nate Matthews-Trigg to the fifth episode of our Extreme Weather Explained series.  Nate is the Americares director of climate and disaster resilience for the Americas. We'll talk about  the challenges extreme weather poses to healthcare, what resilience looks like in practice, and how health professionals can help strengthen the systems their communities depend on.
