Gratitude and Hope: VCCA's 2025 Year-End Giving Campaign

Support Health Professional Leadership on Climate & Health in Virginia

In 2025, Virginia Clinicians for Climate Action (VCCA) mobilized health professionals across the Commonwealth to bring trusted health voices into climate education, public discourse, and policy advocacy.

In the past year, VCCA:

• Hosted its most successful Virginia Climate & Health Education Collaborative Summit, expanding climate-health education across medical and nursing schools statewide
• Supported health professional participation in op-ed workshops and published climate-and-health commentary across Virginia
• Led its largest-ever Advocacy Day, with health professionals holding 30+ meetings with legislators on heat safety, clean energy, and emissions from data centers
• Delivered written and oral testimony at the state and federal level opposing harmful rollbacks and new fossil fuel infrastructure
• Partnered with labor, environmental justice, and environmental organizations to advance climate and health protections for Virginia communities

Year-end gifts support health professional–led education and advocacy that protect health, advance equity, and shape climate solutions in Virginia.

Thank you for supporting this work.
