Leading Sustainably: Integrating environmental stewardship into the health system (HYBRID)

We seem to be navigating one crisis after another, and integrating sustainability may feel like an accessory that we do not have time to reach for right now. That said, the climate crisis continues to escalate, and is likely already impacting us, not limited to our summer inpatient surges and the youth mental health crisis. Thankfully, sustainability isn't an accessory, it is a lens that, once you look through, serves to support many ongoing initiatives, will cut costs, promote EDID and support patient, family and staff wellbeing. By reconnecting with nature, we can transition from providing healthcare to promoting healing. In this session we take a step back, examine our values, and feel renewal in our work by discussing ways to bring these values into our everyday work space.
