Transforming Healthcare for a Sustainable Future
🌍 #EarthOvershoot Day is July 24 – we’ve already used up all the resources Earth can sustainably regenerate for 2025. It’s not just resource depletion—it’s harming the health of every being on the planet. #Healthcare must lead with #sustainable energy, food, and supply chains.

🌧️ The floods hit Texas overnight. BUT 🌎 Climate change has been in front of us all along. We must stop treating it as a distant threat. The time for resilience + sustainability action is now. #TexasFloods #ClimateCrisis #Resilience #Sustainability #Healthcare

Healthcare will have to play an important role in 1. Caring for increasing burden of illness 2. Creating resilient infrastructure 3. Reducing its own environmental footprint #sustainability
#IPCC's 2022 #ClimateReport shows heatwaves in Europe will become more frequent, more intense & will last longer. By 2050, about half of the European population may be exposed to high or very high risk of heat stress during summer. ➡️ bit.ly/IICpt13
Our new study links marine microplastics to neurologic & functional disabilities. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/en… As healthcare treats the harm, we must stop contributing to it. Time to rethink our plastic use. #Sustainability #PlanetaryHealth #Microplastics #HealthcareInnovation
Is #healthcare ready for #heatwave2025? #Sustainability & #resilient infrastructure in healthcare is not optional - It’s #Survival Join us in integrating sustainability at the core of the healthcare organizations and delivery

🚀 The @LaheyHospital Innovation Hub launched with first #AI focused event A system-wide platform with 3 pillars 1. Transforming patient care & experience 2. Advancing workforce well-being 3. Environmentally sustainable innovation We invite all to join us on this journey!
We agree... our 💡 #Innovation hub focuses on #Sustainability as a core from the get go, rather than an afterthought Let's not just build smarter tools but better system that is equitable and sustainable for all
#heatwave2025 and #healthcare In healthcare, we have triple responsibility 1. Care for patients 2. Reduce environmental footprint 3. Resilient infrastructure for uninterrupted operations #Sustainability

How we talk about healthcare sustainability must align with what matters the most 🌍 Health is where we all connect. 📊 We must show — not just tell — how environmental factors drive outcomes. EDOH is the story that matters. #HealthcareSustainability #EDOH #PlanetaryHealth
#Microplastic and #Brain Study led by @LaheyResearch & many colleagues across the country. Let's care for our patients and the environment they live in @bethisraellahey @BIDMC_Research
🌊 "Marine microplastics, once a symbol of environmental neglect, are now emerging as potential agents of neurological harm." Read the editorial by Marfella & Kallweit: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/en… and the article by Makwana et al.: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/en… @EANeurology @WileyNeuro
🌿Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay2025 Let's heal patients & and the environment that shapes their health 🌏💚

Climate vulnerability isn’t uniform, and neither is its health impact. Our new study in @JAHA_AHA links it to cardio-kidney-metabolic disease burden across U.S. counties. Full article -> shorturl.at/gvQ7y
#Microplastics accumulate in human brains, potentially crossing the blood-brain barrier. Linked to neurological disorders, their impact demands urgent research. Learn more⬇️

🚀 From Inspiration to Innovation: Lessons from the Space Industry The space sector thrived not just on vision—but by embracing failure, scaling innovation, and unlocking market value. It’s time #healthcare #Sustainability does the same. 🏥♻️

Healthcare force has an outsized influence even beyond hospitals... As many enjoy Sunday break, let's leverage that influence bring more sustainability in day to day conversation

🌎 Planetary Health = Our Health We in healthcare have a special responsibility to work towards not just reducing the health impacts of environmental adversities but also reducing the environmental footprint 👣 of healthcare 🏥 Let's work together to measure & reduce 👣🏭

Sustainability isn't a cost. It's an investment. Join us on April 14 for @theNAMedicine webinar on financial strategies for climate resilience, decarbonization & the cost of inaction. #SustainableHealthcare #ClimateFinance #HealthEquity #NetZero linkedin.com/posts/sustain-…
#FoodIsMedicine Plant-Based meals have many benefits, both for patients and planet 🌏💚 🏥 can serve as a major source of influence in guiding the path @LaheyHospital @bethisraellahey 1st Plant-Based Meal Day: A step towards sustainable care Let's think together how we can…
🌱✨ @LaheyHospital's First-Ever Plant-Based Day ✅ Lowers chronic disease risk 🏭 Cut GHG emissions by up to 50% 💧 Saves water & protects biodiversity 🌍 Reduces environmental 👣 🗑 Low waste How can hospitals scale sustainable food initiatives? Let’s collaborate & brainstorm
