CCGHC

The Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care (CCGHC) is an alliance of committed Canadian health service organizations, associations and environmentally focused partners providing an active vehicle for enabling positive ecological change within the Canadian health care landscape. We are dedicated to encouraging the adoption of resource conservation and pollution prevention principles and effective environmental management systems, without compromising safety and care, which protects human health and reduces the Canadian health care system's ecological impact. The Coalition works with health care organizations and facilities, health care professionals, governments, non-governmental organisations, the private sector and others to raise awareness of this issue and to increase the capacity of health care organisations and their staff or members to address the sector’s environmental issues.
