“Greening” health care is no small matter at University Health Network (UHN). UHN’s Energy and Environment department motto is health care should not create health problems. In 2000, UHN adopted an environmental management system to identify opportunities to “green” our three hospitals. Our environmental programming frequently breaks new ground, testing out ideas and innovations that are new to health care. The department is involved at all levels, whether its working with staff to implement individual actions or being involved with policy level discussions on how to move UHN through the 21st century and maintain our position as leaders in environmental management.
