What Is GreenCare?

GreenCare is a network that unites efforts across the B.C. health-care community to advance our health-care system toward environmentally sustainable and resilient care for the health of people, place and planet.

Founded by the Energy and Environmental Sustainability team, GreenCare efforts include work undertaken by the team, by health-care and medical staff, and all together, in collaboration and partnership.
