Doctors prescribe a lot of things every day, like medications and advice to help their patients feel better.

Dr. Anna Goldman is the medical director of climate and sustainability at Boston Medical Center, which has adopted a clean power prescription program, and she’ll be talking about how it works as part of St. Luke's lecture series on climate and health.
