Green Coalition announces new Green Health Care Award winners

The 2021 Green Health Care Awards were announced Wednesday September 21st and Thursday September 22nd respectively, at virtual award presentations held by the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care. The awards, made possible with support from Ontario’s Save on Energy initiative, honour Canada’s most sustainable health care organisations.

Recognition through the Green Health Care Awards is predicated upon the results of a completed Green Hospital Scorecard (GHS) survey, a comprehensive ‘Made in Canada’ health care benchmarking tool that measures hospitals’ performance in a number of crucial categories.

Originally developed by the Ontario Hospital Association (OHA) nine years ago in conjunction with an advisory committee of hospital staff and staff from the Coalition, the GHS is the only comprehensive environmental benchmarking tool in Canada specific to health care. In 2016, the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care became custodian of the Green Hospital Scorecard Awards program, continuing to make the program available to Ontario hospitals, and subsequently expanding the program to hospitals across Canada. In the near future, the Coalition will introduce a new scorecard dedicated to Canada’s long-term care and retirement homes.

The GHS provides a vehicle for standardized, sector-specific environmental benchmarking and to connect hospitals with environmental information that will assist them in making decisions to achieve environmental and economic benefits such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved energy and water efficiency and increased climate change resiliency.
