Healing Patients and the Community with Practice Greenhealth Contact Information here www.practicegreenhealth.org Our facility is committed to healthier environments for staff, patients and the communities we serve. We are proud members of Practice Greenhealth and are part of a national community of over 1,000 hospitals, where we share best practices, learn from each other and set annual goals to improve our performance. “Going green” is more than just recycling, we are taking a closer look at how we build, what we buy, the food we serve, chemicals in use and the amount of energy and water that are consumed. We have a responsibility to preserve our natural resources and provide quality care without negatively impacting human health and the environment and you are part of it! 1

The health of the environment is connected to the health of people. It is important as healthcare professionals for us to understand the critical linkages between the health of the environment and human health. As we know better than most, human health is influenced by a variety of factors. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat and the products and processes we are exposed to every day—all play a role in our health. And as nearly 20% of the US economy, healthcare has tremendous purchasing power—and can use that purchasing power to leverage the market to develop smarter, more efficient and more environmentally responsible products and equipment. What we build, what we buy and how we operate MATTERS to the health of our patients, employees and our community. © Practice Greenhealth 2013. All Rights Reserved.

First, Do No Harm Patient Health Staff Health Community Health The evidence is in – human health is dependent on planetary health. And as healthcare providers, we take an oath to first, do no harm. That ethos should extend to all the decisions we make about the ways in which we impact health. A commitment to the environment is a commitment to people. Every health care worker has a right to a safe, healthy and respectful environment. By minimizing chemicals of concern, serving healthier foods, reducing waste and resource use and building the next generation of high-performance healing environments, hospitals are demonstrating their commitment to healthier communities and to a healthy work force. The work positively impacts patients, staff the community and the world – it’s very powerful and by joining Practice Greenhealth, we are part of it! Patient Health Staff Health Community Health
