Healthcare as a global industry ranks as the fifth-largest producer of greenhouse gases—an urgent call to action. In today’s Focused Forum, Jonathan Perlin, MD, PhD, MSHA, MACP, FACMI, President and CEO of The Joint Commission Enterprise, delivered a powerful case for sustainable healthcare, emphasizing the connection between environmental responsibility, human health, and patient safety. His message was clear: prioritizing sustainability isn’t just ethical—it’s essential for the future of healthcare. A powerful reminder from Dr. Perlin’s talk: Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhuman because it often results in physical death.– Martin Luther King Jr. #SGOMtg #SGO2025 #SustainableHealthcare #PatientSafety
