How do patients feel about healthcare sustainability?

In a recent survey, a majority of respondents reported overwhelming support for environmentally responsible practices and said they would prefer to receive care from an organization committed to sustainability.

These findings should bolster more healthcare systems to advance green operations and promote planetary health.

We really enjoyed this year’s Spring SF Chocolate Salon! It was great to meet new Chocolatiers and re-meet existing ones. Every year the Chocolate gets better and better along with the sustainability and thoughtfulness on the sourcing. ❤️🍫

A Pennsylvania farmer, Mervin Raudabaugh, declined an offer of more than $15 million from data center developers to preserve his farmland in Silver Spring Township. Instead of selling, he transferred the development rights to a land conservation program for about $2 million, ensuring the land will remain dedicated to agriculture. His decision reflects both a personal attachment to the land and a broader commitment to farmland preservation in his community. Reports also indicate he faced persistent pressure from developers, but ultimately chose long-term conservation over financial gain, highlighting ongoing tensions between development and agricultural preservation.

Modern medicine has become extraordinarily advanced, yet it often fragments what was never meant to be divided.

We treat organs in isolation.
We manage symptoms in silos.
We separate mental health from physical health, as if biology and emotion operate on different systems.

But they don’t.

Your thoughts shape your physiology, your gut influences your mood, your stress rewires your metabolism, your immune system, even your brain.

The body and mind are not separate entities, they are one integrated network, constantly communicating through hormones, neurotransmitters, and inflammatory signals.

When we ignore this connection, we miss the root cause.

Healing begins when we zoom out.

Support the body with real food, regulate the nervous system, address stress, sleep, relationships, and environment.
