The VA/VC Medical Staff Planetary Health Committee invites physicians, nurse practitioners, and other medical staff who are leading planetary health initiatives that impact the VA and VC communities of care to complete a form that intends to map these various projects.

The goal is to identify and connect existing sustainability efforts, build a network of green champions, and establish a knowledge exchange forum to share learnings and amplify impact across our health-care community. Committee members invite you to share information about any current or planned initiatives related to planetary health or environmental sustainability in your area of work.
