Climate/Energy Series: Introducing the Employee Home Solar Discount program

Recorded On: 06/21/2016

Session Description

This webinar presents the first in a series of Green Employee Benefits for Practice Greenhealth members: Employee Home Solar Discount program.

This new program provides hospitals with an incredible opportunity to offer employees the chance to buy or lease solar systems for their homes at a substantially lower rate than the national average. Implementing the program at your health system or hospital provides a great incentive to engage employees with and also contributes to increasing the resilience of their communities.

Health Systems that are members of the Health Care Climate Council have been piloting the project. Two of these pilot projects - Mark Platt from Gundersen and Sarah O'Keefe from University Hospitals – will share their stories and experiences on this webinar. Lauren Kleinman from Practice Greenhealth will present the Toolkit to assist members with implementing this Green Employee Benefit at their own hospitals. And as an additional incentive, Practice Greenhealth will announce the details of a contest to award free CleanMed 2017 registrations and lodging to the health systems that establish the best Employee Home Solar programs.
