Nurses Stand up for Public Health at STAND-LA Community Forum on Oil Extraction

On July 12, Tveen Kirkpatrick, RN, from Keck Hospital, University of Southern California, and Guss Mata, RN, of Kaiser Sunset attended the STAND-LA community forum. STAND-LA is an environmental activist group working with community, legislation and healthcare professionals to protect those at the front line of urban oil extraction—especially critical given that Los Angeles County has the largest urban oil field in the country.
