Sustainability Program

Our Program

Sustainability has become an increasingly critical component of a health system’s strategic priorities.  HealthTrust strives to provide members with networking opportunities, knowledge, and resources to elevate their organizations environmental sustainability performance. A steering committee drives internal alignment and HealthTrust’s Environmental Sustainability Council serves as the member voice for related priorities and is comprised of subject matter experts from member organizations who are highly engaged in sustainability work.

*“New technology” is classified as a product that, as compared to existing products:

  • Offers significant technological advancements,
  • Improves clinical outcomes or patient care in a significant way (i.e., documented reduction in procedure times, outcomes, lengths of stay, readmissions, infection rates), or
  • Streamlines work processes and/or the economics of facility operations in a significant way (i.e., increase or decrease expenses in supply chain or resource utilization).

Demonstration of the above through independent, peer-reviewed publication(s) is beneficial, but not required.*
