June Webinar: Sustainable Solutions for Healthcare and Community Action

Speaker is Dr. Preeti Jaggi, Director of Antimicrobial Stewardship, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. This session will explore how the WE ACT framework can be applied to healthcare delivery and serve as a practical tool for developing health-focused community solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Participants will examine ongoing sustainability efforts across metropolitan Atlanta and Georgia, including local initiatives such as the City of Decatur’s environmental programs, as well as community and hospital composting efforts. The session will also touch on how extreme weather, such as extreme heat and flooding, can contribute to the spread of infectious diseases.
