The Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments Fellowship

Over the course of a year, 18 nurses from 11 states across the country came together to participate in the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments (ANHE) Fellowship program. The ANHE is a national organization that provides resources and advocacy opportunities to and for nurses. Its vision is a transformational alliance that prepares nurses to ensure the environmental health of all people, overcome environmental health disparities, and heal our communities and the Earth for present and future generations. Nurses are natural leaders in this space, based on their foundational training as holistic carers. Here, the authors share their experiences from the third cohort of the ANHE Fellowship with the aim of inspiring others to embark on, continue, and share their own work in improving environmental health and the health of their communities.
