Health Tues­day: Sus­tain­able health­care – do I need to care?

Join an insight­ful edi­tion of Health Tues­day to explore sus­tain­able health­care. As the indus­try faces grow­ing envi­ron­men­tal chal­lenges, this dis­cus­sion will dive into the prac­ti­cal steps health­care pro­fes­sion­als and orga­ni­za­tions can take to inte­grate sus­tain­abil­i­ty into their oper­a­tions.

From green pro­cure­ment to ener­gy effi­cien­cy and waste reduc­tion, sus­tain­abil­i­ty in health­care is a neces­si­ty. Expert speak­ers will explain the inter­sec­tion of envi­ron­men­tal respon­si­bil­i­ty and health­care, high­light­ing why every stake­hold­er in the health­care sec­tor should be invest­ed in sus­tain­able prac­tices.

Beyond the con­ver­sa­tion, this event is a valu­able oppor­tu­ni­ty to con­nect with pro­fes­sion­als who share an inter­est in sus­tain­able health­care. Net­work with inno­va­tors, exchange ideas, and explore col­lab­o­ra­tions that could help dri­ve change in the indus­try.

Don’t miss out on this chance to be part of the con­ver­sa­tion shap­ing the future of health­care!
