Our dedicated clinicians expertly counsel patients, prescribe medicines and perform critical procedures, but we also know that there are factors affecting our community that require a broader and more holistic response. Just as access to food and housing is essential to our health, so are climate resiliency and environmental sustainability. Climate change is a public health crisis. And at Mass General Brigham, we believe it’s critical that we all treat it as one.
As a mission-driven, integrated health care system, our commitment is to our patients and our community. Though we will not overcome the challenges posed by climate change in a day, or a year, we resolve to face the problem head-on, so that those we serve can live their best, healthiest lives.
