Given its primary role as a knowledge producer, higher education can serve as a powerful means to help create a more sustainable future. The academic partner level is open to any university, college, or graduate school, most likely nursing schools, medical schools, schools of public health, and even schools of veterinary medicine. By joining the Practice Greenhealth network, you're nurturing the leaders of tomorrow.

Note: This partnership level is for academic institutions, departments, etc.. Academic medical centers, while related, would fall under our hospital or health system partner level opportunities.

Academic Partners may apply.

When an institution invests in this level, faculty and students are eligible for access.
