Practice Greenhealth grows to over 1,400 hospitals
A 2020 Boston Consulting Group (BCG) survey of more than 3,000 people across eight countries has found that in the wake of the pandemic, people are now more concerned – not less – about addressing environmental challenges and are more committed to changing their own behavior to advance sustainability.
These survey results clearly translate to health care.
Implementing sustainability initiatives and climate-smart strategies in health care facilities is challenging work, as those who are leading or involved in these efforts know first-hand. However, we know this work gets a little easier when more hospitals and health systems are engaged in co-creating solutions and collaborating with peers across the country.
We are excited to share that since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, the Practice Greenhealth network has grown to more than 1,400 hospitals.
