Practice Sustainable Medical Care

Ecologically Sustainable Medicine (ESM) advances medicine with environmental integrity by offering affordable and renewable medical choices—saving resources and money—while preserving the health of the environment.

The practice of sustainable medical care necessitates fundamental changes in the delivery of medicine. Whether practicing family medicine, oncology, chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, psychotherapy, or any other medical technique, providers emphasize prevention, precaution, efficacy and wellness in their daily practice. As a result, the delivery of medicine becomes increasingly more sustainable.

Goals:

  • Become aware of the environmental impact of conventional medicine.
  • Emphasize wellness in daily medical practice and choose ESM treatments first.
  • Recognize the importance of ecological health in medical ethics.
  • Promote the psychological and cultural benefits of sustainable medicine.

Outcome:

A Green Health Care Professional
