Training on Sustainability in Healthcare

Learn how to manage sustainability in healthcare from a team of experts. Practice Greenhealth has partnered with Johnson & Johnson to develop a cutting edge research, training and education program. In a recent Practice Greenhealth survey, 92.5% of participants noted education and training was either “very important” or “important” to enhancing sustainability efforts in their organizations, and 78.3% named Practice Greenhealth as the go-to for sustainability education.

Practice Greenhealth brings years of experience in the trenches working to build and integrate sustainability programs in the nation’s hospitals, and is ready to teach you or your organization how to move forward with this challenging agenda.

Practice Greenhealth has a host of different offerings in our educational program that may meet your needs.

Trainings and Workshops:

• Infrastructure and Process for Sustainability: A one-day workshop designed to help participants become familiar with the drivers for sustainability in the healthcare sector, zero in on the process of gaining senior level support and building a team, developing a baseline and collecting data, facilitating change management and culture change in your organization, how to set goals and priorities for action, and measurement/benchmarking techniques for tracking progress.

• Organization-Specific Trainings: Practice Greenhealth can tailor sustainability training to meet your organization’s specific needs. Need an Introduction to Sustainability for a cross-section of executives, directors and front line staff? Need to train your green team on how to set goals and implement certain initiatives? Need specific training on topics like regulated medical waste reduction, recycling, energy efficiency, chemical minimization or other interest areas? Practice Greenhealth is happy to work with your organization to develop a curriculum that meets your needs. Contact us for more information.

• Online Training (under development): Practice Greenhealth will soon be offering online training modules on different sustainability topics. These 30-60 minute modules will walk participants through the basics for program implementation with a series of how-tos, case studies and video clips, followed by a short quiz that test participants knowledge of the topic. Work with us to develop a course to meet your needs or browse our current selection. Actively seeking continuing education units for these courses. COMING SOON.
