In the video below Dr. Meghan Davis shares more about HFHT's Green Initiative and how we can make our healthcare delivery more environmentally friendly on our shared journey toward a healthier Hamilton.
Good healthcare and green healthcare often go hand in hand, which is why HFHT's Green Initiative was launched in late 2019. We've brainstormed practical ideas, created evidence-based tools, and tried all of our initiatives in primary care to ensure they work.
We would love for you to join us! For more information or to get started, drop us an email at green.team@hamiltonfht.ca.
Our Green Corner biweekly newsletter is rolling out our initiatives step-by-step with challenges to go green and your success stories and prizes! See our past issues below and sign up for the Green Corner here!
