The Green New Deal for Health Act is a bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on July 27, 2026. It aims to prepare and strengthen the health care sector to protect workers, communities, and the planet from the effects of climate change. The bill covers topics like hospital access, green health care buildings, reducing carbon emissions in health care, workforce training, community mental health, extreme heat risks, and climate health research.
This federal bill would set new rules and funding for hospitals, clinics, and health workers in Houston, a city affected by heat, flooding, and air quality issues tied to climate.
