About

Sustainability

Sustainability

We embed sustainable practices and projects into everything we do.

Our Sustainability Strategy finds ways to

  • reduce water and energy use
  • increase recycling
  • adapt to climate change - for example, by preparing for more asthma storm events and heat wave days
 
This helps us reduce the environmental impact of health care.
 
Our low-maintenance gardens with shady trees and shrubs improve our microclimate and wellbeing. We use indigenous and other drought-resistant plants. These don't need watering and provide a home for native birds and insects.
 
We add more insulation to our buildings where we can. This keeps the temperature inside more comfortable, and reduces energy use.
