CommonSpirit Grand Rounds/Clinical Update: Impact of Health Care Systems on Climate Change

5-Minute Clinical Update and Grand Rounds with Dr. Thomas McGinn

Key points to be covered:
Health professionals are uniquely positioned to help bring members of our community into a greater state of readiness to participate in climate solutions.
Of all global health care greenhouse gas emissions, the U.S. health care system contributes about 27%, which is more than the health care system of any other nation.
Organizations like CommonSpirit Health have the potential for broad climate action influence across the health care industry, by leveraging partnerships with suppliers, our GPO and NGOs to enact change.
