ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that by nature, healthcare organizations and professionals strive for sustainability, that of prolonging and preserving an individual’s quality of life. Sustainability and green efforts are two concepts that are gaining in both popularity and substance. There are some solid reasons for healthcare organizations to consider their “green” or sustainability efforts. More and more project stakeholders are making sustainability and green efforts priorities in their decision-making process. Indices have been developed to help consumers decide whether or not an organization is being responsible when it comes to sustainability.
