Part 2 of the Planetary Connection to Cardiovascular Health Series: Practical Sustainability Tools to Enhance Patient Care and Planetary Health

This course will delve into the significant impact that the healthcare system has on planetary health. In healthcare, improving patient outcomes and reducing environmental impact can go hand-in-hand. This course explores actionable sustainability practices that not only elevate patient care but also contribute to planetary health. Participants will gain insights into the healthcare system's environmental footprint and discover practical strategies for reducing waste in high-impact areas like operating rooms and interventional labs.

We will showcase leading initiatives from hospitals, organizations, and industry partners working toward a sustainable healthcare model. We’ll also explore ways to inspire and empower healthcare professionals to champion sustainability in their own practice and lead the charge toward a greener future.
