CleanMed Insights Series: Executive Leadership in Action

Health care leaders across the country are proving that sustainability is not an afterthought, but an essential driver of organizational resilience, financial health, and mission delivery. In this CleanMed 2026 plenary, CEOs and CFOs from leading systems share how they are embedding sustainability and equity into their core strategies, the business case behind their investments, and lessons learned from navigating challenges along the way.

Many attendees asked how to build executive support, create accountability, and make the business case for sustainability within their own organizations. Those questions inspired the CleanMed Insights Series, which extends select conference sessions with practical articles, emerging trends, and actionable resources you can use throughout the year.
