Making Hospice Care Sustainable
pixelshot/CanvaPro
The hospice industry is witnessing a surge in
environmental sustainability efforts. Providers like Agrace Hospice &
Supportive Care and Amedisys, Inc. are making strides toward long-term
ecological responsibility. Despite the need for initial investments, hospices
anticipate cost savings from reduced energy consumption and enhanced staff
recruitment and retention. Agrace aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025 by
investing in renewable energy sources and transitioning to electric vehicles.
Similarly, Amedisys has plans to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by
2050. Other examples, like Hospice of the Western Reserve, demonstrate the
ripple effects of sustainability initiatives on the community, aligning with
the mission to promote quality of life and leave a lasting legacy for future
generations.
