Healthcare Waste Management Community of Practice
In partnership with the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care, we are assembling a Healthcare Waste Management Community of Practice. This network will enhance sustainability within healthcare waste management processes in Canada by exploring the links between waste, clinical delivery of care and environment sustainability Chair: Allen Bridge, Provincial Lead in Environmental Sustainability and Waste Management at Alberta Health Services
This worksheet is part of the Food Infrastructures for Planetary Health Playbook, which aims tosupport informed decision-making related to food infrastructures for planetary health throughout the planning, design, construction, ongoing operation retrofitting (and even decommissioning) of Canadian healthcare facilities. These sequential stages are known as the Facilities Delivery Lifecycle
This playbook aims to support informed decision-making related to foodinfrastructures for planetary health throughout the planning, design, construction and ongoing operation of Canadian healthcare facilities.
This webinar explored how healthy food and food systems contributed to improvements in patient, public, and ecosystem health. It discussed aligning planning, design, and delivery of food infrastructures with planetary health values. The authors of the Food Infrastructures for Planetary Health playbook presented ways to integrate planetary health into decision-making, including opportunities across the facilities delivery lifecycle and approaches to driving system change. Speakers from across Canada shared efforts to transform health system food environments. The event was presented by CASCADES in partnership with Nourish and Green Care.
