Discipline: Sustainability and Pediatric Nursing
Importance of Sustainability within Children’s Hospitals
Sustainability is an important aspect of every environment that one encounters. For pediatric patients entering a children’s hospital, it is probably not something that is important and at the top of their list when looking for healthcare. However, sustainable children’s hospitals have not only their patients as their first priority, but they also take the earth into account. Some might not realize that they are walking into a sustainable children’s hospital unless someone tells them.
Topics include:
-Look at the importance of sustainable children’s hospitals
-Dive in to see how sustainability is used in healthcare
-See how sustainability and healthcare can go hand-in-hand
