Join a Dec. 4 webinar about how hospitals can reap savings and reduce their carbon footprint through sustainability programs to reduce energy use and waste, achieve operating room supply efficiencies, and more. The webinar will draw on the findings of a recent Commonwealth Fund study, Can Sustainable Hospitals Help Bend the Health Care Cost Curve?, by Susan Kaplan, J.D., and colleagues, which shows that savings from such interventions could exceed $5.4 billion over five years and $15 billion over 10 years.
