Bringing Health Equity Home: The Problem with Natural Gas - February 19, 2026

What's currently missing is an understanding of whether natural gas affects housing quality, and how natural gas might impact health equity. We will explore new data on these issues, and one strategy to increase public awareness of them. Speaker Bio: Curtis Nordgaard is a pediatrician at HCMC, and an affiliated assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Minnesota Medical School. He studies natural gas and its health impacts, and also works with the Clean Heat Minnesota campaign to support engagement on statewide natural gas policy issues.
