Session Description
The Healthier Hospitals Initiative (HHI) represents a shared leadership to promote healthier communities, including reductions in exposures to harmful chemicals. In this session, Beaumont Health Systems and Kaiser Permanente will serve as case studies for how to implement the Safer Chemicals Challenge, discussing best practices, steps for overcoming challenges, internal messaging, strategies for achieving the challenges, and key partnerships with vendors in the purchase of safer materials. The session will provide participants engaged in the HHI Safer Chemicals Challenge with the opportunity to share their own experience and to learn from other participating hospitals about potential solutions to barriers to success.
