Sustainability Chats - Eneration

Check out December's Sustainability Chat with Eneration, the non-profit team behind the nation’s first energy-independent healthcare system. Born from Gundersen Health System in Wisconsin, Eneration is revolutionizing healthcare by helping organizations achieve energy independence. Their focus on reducing energy consumption, building efficient facilities, and creating long-term energy plans not only lowers costs but also improves patient care and safety. By cutting energy demand, Eneration helps reduce pollution, creating a healthier environment for both patients and communities AND lowering patient costs.

Eneration’s efforts align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those focused on affordable and clean energy, good health, and climate action (Goals 7, 3 and 13). Their mission aims to cut U.S. healthcare energy consumption by 10%, eliminate 5 million tons of CO2, and save $1 billion for healthcare partners. This work highlights the powerful co-benefit of energy efficiency: healthier environments for patients and a cleaner planet for all. Don't miss this chance to learn how sustainability and healthcare are intertwined for a better future!
