Greening Health Care is a collaborative program which helps hospitals work together to lower their energy and operating costs while contributing to the health and well-being of their communities. Members manage data, assess their energy and environmental performance and track savings, using the largest online hospital database in Canada. They share knowledge and best-practices through workshops, webinars and e-mail to help plan, implement and verify improvements. Greening Health Care is delivered across Ontario by Toronto & Region Conservation.
