There’s an inherent uncertainty in responding to the emerging health impacts of climate change.
This is our moment to come together and co-create the clinical and community responses we need.
Join Health Professionals for a Healthy Climate (HPHC), Advocates for Better Health (ABH), Minnesota Doctors for Health Equity (MDHEQ), the University of Minnesota School of Nursing, and community leaders for an immersive continuing education conference — Code Blue for Patient Earth focused on “weathering the uncertainty” of climate change together.
Code Blue 2024 will bring together more than 100 health professionals and frontline experts from environmental justice, mental health, nursing, pharmacy, physician, public health, social work, veterinary, and dentistry communities — represent your health or science profession and join us!
In-person option: Join for an immersive in-person experience at The Gathering Place at Sanctuary: 2018 N. Aldrich Avenue Minneapolis, MN 55411. The Gathering Place is located on the first floor of the building and is considered accessible. Ample onsite parking is available along with street parking and an overflow parking lot. There are also City of Minneapolis electric vehicle charging stations nearby. Metro Transit bus lines service Stop #8306 (West Broadway/Aldrich Ave N.) and Stop #11180 (West Broadway/Lyndale Ave N.), which are both located less than 0.2 miles from the event space.
Online option: Join online at a reduced registration rate and enjoy interactive facilitation from the comfort of your home.
