GGHH member Philippine Heart Center (PHC), in partnership with Health Care Without Harm-Asia, recently welcomed representatives from various hospitals from around Asia to showcase their best eco-friendly practices.

Global Green and Healthy Hospitals, in cooperation with the National League of Philippine Government Nurses, organized a training for trainors last February called “Nurse To Do No Harm,” with over 20 nurses representing various government health facilities in Philippines. The training aimed to make environmental health advocates out of nurse leaders not only within their hospitals but also in the communities.

Lloyd Dean, president and CEO of Dignity Health, GGHH member and 2020 Challenge Participant and one of the United States’ largest health systems, wrote in Health Affairs Blog about the health care industry’s “moral responsibility to address climate change head-on.”
