BILH’s inaugural Sustainability Summit brought colleagues together across the system to celebrate and strengthen our commitment to environmental stewardship. 🌱
Congratulations to Samson Ferm, MD from Mount Auburn Gastroenterology — who was recognized as a Jane Matlaw Environmental Champion Awardee for surveying staff to assess and increase sustainability awareness in Endoscopy.
Through this work, Dr. Ferm found 96% support for waste reduction and identified education as the main barrier (83%), while mentoring colleagues and developing initiatives to reduce red bag waste and integrate sustainability into clinical practice.
Thank you all for your leadership and dedication to sustainability!
