Building Resilient, Sustainable Health Systems

Houston Methodist's Office of Sustainability is working to advance environmental stewardship as an extension of healing - caring not only for patients, but also for the communities & environments that influence human health. Jason Fischer, Director, Office of Sustainability, will explore how healthcare sustainability intersects with faith, service, & responsibility to future generations through initiatives focused on energy/resource conservation, waste reduction, sustainable purchasing, clinical sustainability & environmental health. He will also highlight how collaboration across healthcare, research, & community partnerships can help create healthier, more resilient communities while supporting the broader mission of caring for creation & one another.
