The webinar session will include:

- Celebrating the ways staff and medical staff are contributing to our climate action
These updates are central to our collective mission in building a climate-resilient health system.
Planetary Health Awards winners will be revealed
Alongside these important updates, we will be celebrating our colleagues across the organization who are leading the way in making health care more environmentally sustainable. We're excited to announce the winners of Island Health's first-ever Excellence in Planetary Health Award, and recognize this year's group of Planetary Health Honourees!
Health professionals are uniquely positioned to lead the way on climate action. From switching to reusables, to cutting emissions from anesthetics, to starting community gardens at our hospitals, teams across Island Health are already making smart and impactful changes that directly benefit our health.
