The Function of ANHE

The Alliance of Nurses for a Healthy Environment (ANHE) strives to educate nurses about the important link between the environment and human health (Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environment, 2017).

To improve people’s health by educating nurses on the value of healthy settings. ANHE promotes healthy environments through research, policy development, and evidence-based practice.

Vision: Nurses who are leaders in implementing necessary improvements in environmental health policies and practices.

This organization brings practitioners and academics together. Members can share information with their peers about how to enhance practice in order to foster healthy settings. We keep members updated about the relevant policies. Nurses are busy professions and individuals may not find time to get acquainted with all the news regarding policy issues.

ANHE has a practice group that creates networks and webinars that promote safety in practice. You will receive education on health influences from the environment and how to keep yourself and your patients safe,

ANHE supports research on environmental issues. You will have access to the new knowledge created through this research.
