Engage with environmental sustainability
To engage with environmental sustainability in a healthcare institution means to increase everyone’s awareness and initiate changes in behavior or practices.
Even small changes can have an impact when they are part of an organization-wide commitment.
To evaluate what can have an impact or which changes matter:
- Assess the carbon footprint of your hospital
- Prioritize areas of improvement
- Implement sustainable practices into daily operations
- Continue to discuss ideas that can further improve your operations
- Measure effects and keep everyone’s awareness on sustainability efforts
The University of California San Francisco (UCSF) strives to become the first carbon-neutral radiology department in the world. Dr. Sean Woolen gives insights on their first steps towards sustainable radiology.
Climate change poses major risks for cancer incidents and outcomes. Dr. Katie Lichter from UCSF explains how her department engages with sustainability in cancer care.

Elevating environmental sustainability requires a moderate time or investment.
For example:
- Extending the lifetime of equipment, through upgrades to elevate equipment to the next generation of hardware or software
- Consider modifications to production and procurement
Together, we can create positive impact around the world
