Sustainability Climate – Pledges Supported by Virginia Mason

Description

As the front line stewards of individual and community health, hospitals are in a unique position to address climate change. In addition to making impactful and measurable progress in their own operations to address climate change, hospitals must work towards accelerating investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency; scaling the adoption of climate change mitigation and resiliency programs; and advocating for local, state, and national policies that ensure a sustainable and healthy future. Virginia Mason has published its pledges regarding climate change and health care.
