Health does not begin or end within the walls of a hospital. The conditions in which people live — including exposure to extreme heat, wildfire smoke, and other environmental challenges — impact who becomes sick, who recovers, and who has the opportunity to thrive.
As a health system, we have both an opportunity and a responsibility to lead. Rooted in our values, this work reflects our commitment to justice by recognizing that environmental burdens often fall hardest on those already facing the greatest challenges. It reflects our pursuit of excellence, continually asking how we can deliver care more wisely, steward resources more responsibly, and better prepare for the future. At its core, this work is about reducing harm, strengthening resilience, and doing what healthcare has always aspired to do: helping people and communities live healthier lives.
With your help, we can make ambitious innovations in clinical care and education for our community.
