It’s common knowledge that our health is closely connected to our environment and that health disparities are linked to differences in how and where we live.
Rosalind Franklin University is committed to working in collaborative partnership toward a more sustainable future. We’re taking actions to reduce our environmental impact and strengthen our efforts to educate our students, faculty and staff across subjects and disciplines about climate change and its threat to the health of humanity.
Mental Health
Epidemiological studies reveal that chronic mental illness makes people more vulnerable to a host of diseases and puts them at greater risk from the impacts of our changing climate. More than one in five adults in the U.S. lives with a mental illness.
