Planetary health is the idea that human health and the health of our planet are inextricably linked. The healthcare sector promotes human health but has a significant impact on our natural world. In Canada, some hospitals are leading the way towards promoting planetary health in an increasingly challenging context. The purpose of this study was to understand how Canadian hospitals support planetary health, specifically through green teams and sustainability offices.
