Environmental Responsibility in Health Care

Host: Mark Nolan Hill, MD
Guest: Ted Schettler, MD, MPH
Guest: Gary Cohen

Energy estimates project America to be among the leaders in energy consumption for years to come. Coupled with our dependence on modern chemicals, there is a lot of room for us to improve our approach to environmental responsibility. From waste disposal to indoor air pollution, how can we set ourselves on a path toward making this change? Gary Cohen, co-executive director of Health Care Without Harm, an international campaign in support of environmentally responsible health care, and Dr. Ted Schettler, science director of the Science and Environmental Health Network, and science advisor to Health Care Without Harm, guide us through a series of environmentally responsible initiatives with host Dr. Mark Nolan Hill.
