A real privilege to welcome Dr. Kate Hanneman to the University of Calgary this week as our Visiting Professor.

Her talk on sustainability in medical imaging and planetary health was both inspiring and practical.

Excited to keep pushing these conversations forward here in Calgary!🌱 🩻 🌎

This is the burden to #healthcare we have to start talking about. Increased usage of tests, visits, &hospitalizations. All of which consume more resources in our #fossilfueleconomy

We need more studies like this to sho both health and economic impacts of #extremeweatherevent and poor #airquality
