Come learn about how our environment's health determines our own, and why doctors are sounding the alarms about climate change being an emergency for our health- today and tomorrow.
 
Dr. Ashley McClure grew up in Seattle, Washington. She attended medical school at Oregon Health Sciences Universityin Portland, Ore., and completed her residency in internal medicine at the University of Washington. She worked at a safety net clinic in Washington, D.C., for 5 years before joining Kaiser Permanente in 2016, where she practices primary care medicine in Salud en Espanol at KP Oakland. 
After having her daughter in 2018, Dr. McClure became inspired to leverage her voice as a physician in raising awareness about the public health harms of climate change, and the importance of protecting our children’s health tomorrow. By engaging in advocacy and education around climate change as a health crisis, she’s experienced a profound sense of meaning in medicine. Dr. McClure is here today to invite YOU to join her in climate advocacy work, not only for the potential public health benefit the effort affords, but also for the personal fulfillment it provides.
