Climate
We believe that climate change is a looming threat to the health of our communities. As a result, the Moses/Weitzman Health System and its affiliates are working daily to lower our carbon footprint.
Specific environmental initiatives around this work include:
- An Environmental Action Task Force at Community Health Center Inc. to spread awareness and inspire action to protect the health of people and the environment at CHC and within surrounding communities
- System-wide recycling
- Divestment – Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) funds are available as part of the MWHS retirement plan
- Compost collection available at some sites
- Public transit commuting incentives for staff
- Working to eliminate single-use plastic items
- Rooftop Gardens and living walls
- Therapeutic greenhouse gardens led by CHC staff at schools
- Prescriptions for Produce programs in partnership with local farmers markets
- Partnership with FoodCorps
- Annual Earth Day activities
