MATTER collaborated with Loyola University Chicago’s Parkinson School of Health Sciences and Public Health for a one-day summit convening national thought leaders and innovators who are disrupting healthcare delivery through the lens of health equity and sustainability.

The U.S. healthcare system creates a massive amount of national and global waste and pollution, having a direct effect on the pace and severity of climate change. And as climate change worsens—from intolerable heat to more frequent and extreme floods, wildfires, droughts and other disasters—it creates new and exacerbates existing health inequities, preventing individuals and communities from achieving their highest levels of health.

Join health systems, faculty and students, community organizations, patient groups, government entities, policymakers, entrepreneurs and others to collaborate on how we can make the U.S. healthcare system more sustainable and address health inequities caused by rapid climate change.

The summit featured a keynote address from Dr. Jalonne White-Newsome, federal chief environmental justice officer of the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
