TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - How should organizations and clinicians help marginalized patients manage loneliness as a harm of climate change? JO - AMA journal of ethics A1 - Fuller, Lisa SP - E802 EP - 808 VL - 25 IS - 11 N2 - This commentary on a case outlines 4 interventions that would help to prevent or mitigate illness and attendant loneliness affecting vulnerable patients during extreme weather events. It suggests that an individualistic approach to the collective problem of climate change is inadequate and that health professionals and health organizations should (1) transition from reactive climate change strategies to integrating disaster preparedness into daily operations and (2) advocate for changes in society that address harms and begin to mitigate the negative effects of climate change, especially on marginalized people.
