Climate & Health in the Commonwealth

Join health professions students, educators, clinicians, and healthcare sustainability leaders from across the region for a climate and health conference featuring two interconnected programming streams:

• The VCHEC Conference, focused on advancing climate and health education across the health professions

• The Healthcare Sustainability Summit, focused on transforming healthcare operations, institutions, and systems.

  
  

Each stream will offer focused programming for its primary audience, while shared plenary sessions, networking opportunities, and collaborative discussions will bring participants together across education, clinical practice, health-system operations, and sustainability.

Together, participants will exchange ideas, build partnerships, and identify practical opportunities to prepare a climate-ready health workforce and create more sustainable, resilient healthcare systems across the Commonwealth.
