About |
Go Green Healthcare Inc., a Chicago and New York based Ecohealthcare company,
GoGreenHealthcare.org is a website that will engage more than 2 million professionals from the fields of Healthcare, Energy, Environmental Sciences, Facility Management, Architectural Design and Academics. The mission of GoGreenHealthcare is to serve as a portal to all things green in healthcare and provide content and information on science, practice and innovations in sustainable initiatives. Sustainable healthcare initiatives are rooted in four distinct areas:
• Clinical Care- research consistently demonstrates improved patient outcomes when considering the environment of the care setting
• Products and Pharmaceuticals- increased emphasis is being placed on Eco-friendly products and their impact on the environment in all phases of manufacturing, processing and disposal
• Architecture and Design- standards have been well defined guiding professionals in sustainable hospital and clinic design
• Healthcare Campus- patients, families and care providers are exposed to potentially dangerous settings and these risk must be mitigated
Go GreenHealthcare has been developed to enlighten patients and professionals on the impact of waste and inefficiencies in healthcare; the goal is to share best practices and greatly reduce the carbon footprint to which healthcare as an industry contributes. Go GreenHealthcare was conceived and designed by its founding members who have a combined 50 years in various healthcare settings. Ongoing consultation and guidance will be provided by an advisory board consisting of a multi-disciplinary group of experts in their respective fields. GoGreenHealthcare.org launched on Earth Day, April 22, 2012
