I'm thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership between Hackensack Meridian Health Meridian Health and Bernhard to bring clean, #renewableenergy to our 18 hospitals across New Jersey. This transformative initiative will install over 50,000 solar panels, the equivalent of 27 NFL football fields. This partnership is a significant step forward in our commitment to environmental #sustainability and reducing our #carbonfootprint. By harnessing the sun's power, we'll be able to significantly reduce our reliance on #fossilfuels, contributing to a healthier planet for generations to come. But the benefits extend far beyond environmental impact. This initiative will also: 1. Reduce our operating costs: The solar panels will generate significant cost savings, allowing us to reinvest those funds back into patient care and innovative technologies. 2. Enhance patient experience: By creating a more sustainable healthcare environment, we'll be able to provide our patients with a healthier and more comfortable experience. 3. Attract and retain top talent: Our commitment to sustainability will make HMH an even more attractive place to work for talented healthcare professionals who share our values. This partnership with Bernhard is a testament to our shared vision for a more sustainable future. Bernhard's expertise in renewable energy solutions will be instrumental in making this project a success. I'm incredibly proud of this initiative and the positive impact it will have on our patients, our communities, and the environment. This is just one example of how HMH is leading the way in creating a healthier future for all. #HMH #Bernhard #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #Healthcare #Innovation #NJ James De Rosa, CPA Kyle Tafuri Audrey Murphy Robert C.

🍀 ‘It's in the communities where people flourish’ – an Irish saying shared during the opening ceremony of #ICIC24 by Niamh Lennox - Chhugani (PhD) and Áine Carroll. ❓The overarching theme this year is taking the leap to make integrated care a reality for people and communities worldwide. Integrated care is not a luxury; it is a necessity. But how do we make it happen? How can we all play a part in making integrated care a reality? What steps can we take within our spheres of influence? 🤝 The journey and transformation towards integrated care looks different for everyone, so it’s key that we collaborate together in this journey and overcome complexities to make meaningful impact. 💗 Excited for the days ahead! #ICIC24! #IntegratedCare International Foundation for Integrated Care (IFIC) Laurel - Actionable policies for integrated long-term care Anam Ahmed, PhD Ysanne de Graaf Iris Boot Bert Vrijhoef, PhD

The multidisciplinary E3 Excellence in Pandemic Response and Enterprise Solutions project, which focuses on preventing pandemics and finding out the different routes of infectious diseases, starts publishing final results after three years of work. The most significant outcomes are, for example, the results from the daycare study performed in four different daycare centres in the city of Helsinki. In the daycare centres, where the air was cleaned with air purifiers, children’s morbidity decreased by 18 percent. ➡️Read the release here: https://lnkd.in/d8fpisEM Companies involved in the project: AFRY, Air0 - Breathe Finland, Airlyse Oy, ALME SOLUTIONS OY, AW2 Architects – part of AINS Group, Biomensio Ltd, Cleamix Oy, Filterpak Oy Ab Ltd, Granlund Oy, HUS Helsingin yliopistollinen sairaala, Halton Group, Inspector Sec Oy, KONE Oyj, Lumikko Oy, Ramboll Finland Oy, Olfactomics Oy, Royal Caribbean Group Oyj, Rapal Oy, Rune & Berg Design Oy, Roche Diagnostics Oy, VETROSPACE Oy, Lifa Air Oy Research organisations involved in the project: Tampere University of Applied Sciences, Tampere University, Technical Research Centre of Finland VTT, Finnish Meteorological Institute, University of Helsinki, Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL), Työterveyslaitos - Finnish Institute of Occupational Health Coordination: Tamlink & Spinverse Ecosystems: Indoor Air Quality ecosystem IAQe, CleverHealth Network Yhteistyö * Kumppanuudet * Tree - Jatkuvan oppimisen palvelut, Helsingin kaupunki – Helsingfors stad – City of Helsinki #pandemicresponse #E3pandemicresponse

I see a possible circular story here where a few visionaries from a wealthy country help found Build Health International (BHI), which helps resource-constricted countries to build sustainable healthcare infrastructure/facilities amid climate and environmental tumult. The story could end there, but as wealthy countries face new climate challenges, perhaps they could learn from BHI participants how to function in times of pandemics or severe weather/environmental impacts. It could be a circular story where the helpers become the helped. We should communicate with, learn from and help each other. I would love to see AMFP Greater NY - Association of Medical Facility Professionals and BHI in discussions.

🌳Trees of Life. We catch up with some of the team at the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare. Did you know that the NHS Forest is run by the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare (CSH)? It is an alliance of health sites working to transform their green space to realise its full potential for health and wellbeing. “From mental health treatment to cancer prevention, we have only just scratched the surface of the enormous health benefits offered by trees,” explains Sarah Jordan, Director of Green Space at CSH. “Healthcare sites can tap into these benefits for their staff, patients and the local community by planting trees. The NHS Forest can help make this happen. As well as supplying fully funded trees thanks to support from Defra and the Forestry Commission, we have collaborated with the Woodland Trust and American Forests to develop the UK Tree Equity Score. This free online tool helps people decide where to prioritise tree planting for maximum benefits to health, wellbeing and the environment, while also tackling inequalities.” ➡️Find out more at nhsforest.org or catch up in issue #3 of FORTIS magazine. #sustainability #mentalhealth #greenspaces

Do we need NorData in addition to NorTrials? Everyone at Norway Life Science conference agreed: we need faster access to our health data than we achieve today, if we are to reap value from this "gold" for patients, health services and society! The welfare model itself depends on us quickly facilitating both the infrastructure and cooperation needed for better utilisation of Norwegian health data. The discussions of the past two days have strengthened our belief that it is possible to unlock the full value potential of our health data. Based on good experiences with public-private partnerships such as NorTrials, Health2B and CONNECT, we throw out the question: do we need a NorData partnership to succeed?

To improve both people’s health and the health the planet, we need to act now to restore the natural environment in the cities we live in. That’s why we’re inviting colleagues, customers, businesses and communities to improve their health by completing a challenge that gets them moving. In turn, we’re investing in projects that restore and regenerate urban spaces to support the health of many more people across the world. Last year over 80,000 people across 24 countries took 10 billion steps as part of our global Healthy Cities programme – with £2 million invested into projects that, for example, support reforestation, provide green spaces for local communities, clean up coastal areas, restore damaged ecosystems and remove plastic from waterways. Today we’re kicking off #HealthyCities2024, empowering more people to take an active role in their health and wellbeing. We’re excited to build on last year’s success and will share updates in the coming months. #HealthyCities2024 #HealthyPlanetHealthyPeople

To assess the #feasibility of implementing the #European #Health #Data #Space (#EHDS) in different #EU regions and #MemberStates, #EIT Health is conducting a pan-European stakeholder consultation initiative. This initiative aims to gather experiences and #realworld insights of EIT Health’s partners and other relevant agents of the EU #healthcare #innovation #ecosystem to shed light on what the #realities and needs are in the individual #countries in relation to adopting the #EHDS, but also to #distil lessons learnt and best practices from previous experiences of #healthdata sharing for secondary use.
