CCS Planetary Health Resources
The CCS is pleased to share a series of resources to support sustainable practices in cardiovascular care. These resources are designed for health professionals and administrators who support the cardiovascular health of Canadians.
This toolkit features sustainable cardiovascular care practices across settings, in cardiac surgery, and in procedural labs.
Developed in partnership with the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care and made possible thanks to an investment from the Government of Canada’s Low Carbon Economy Implementation Readiness Fund.
