FREE AIAU WEBINAR
EARN 1 LU / HSW
The healthcare sector represents roughly 20% of the US economy; 10% of US greenhouse gas emissions; and 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. How can/is healthcare legitimately removing carbon from the delivery of care (i.e. carbon-free care)? Is it fully possible?
Join this unique webinar, designed as a panel forum, to hear from Helen Wilmot, Chief Facilities & Sustainability Officer at Stanford Health Care and Walt Vernon, CEO of Mazzetti & National Academy of Medicine Action Collaborative Steering Committee member.
Stanford Health Care (SHC), in many ways, is the leading the decarbonization charge in the industry. Discover how SHC is addressing the obvious barriers of “dependence on fossil fuels” to perform essential tasks — heating, humidifying, sterilization — as well as the somewhat less obvious barriers around fleet and medical gasses. Discover how the National Academy of Medicine’s Action Collaborative is addressing operational pathways, including healthcare delivery (e.g. “hospital at home”), supply chain, financing, regulation, and even relevant education and communication for various stakeholders.
