MD H2E is facilitating the creation of Maryland’s Health Care Sustainability Leadership Council, comprised of health care providers who want to lead the development of environmental and community health efforts across Maryland.

Representatives from 20 health care facilities/systems in Maryland have already signed up!

Our first meeting, which is for health care providers only, is on February 22nd.

To learn more or to participate in this new initative, contact Joan Plisko, plisko@son.umaryland.edu

Sustainability leadership is about critical and forward thinking, piloting new ideas, modeling behaviors, and setting examples for others to follow. Here is what we expect to be part of the pioneering work of the HCSLC:

The HCSLC will provide guidance and advice to sustainability professionals working in Maryland.

The HCSLC will advise MD H2E on topics and endeavors to continue creating value to Maryland’s health care community.

The HCSLC will chart the course for statewide collaborative sustainability efforts.

The HCSLC will provide insights to creating a more vigorous marketplace.

This is an opportunity to work and learn from peers, create and participate in statewide campaigns and collaborative efforts, develop measurable statewide health care environmental goals, and leverage the commonalities among and between health care facilities to generate reduced costs and improved environmental and health outcomes!
