Network Mission Statement
Together, we can collectively reduce the dental sector’s carbon footprint and improve healthcare equity and patient safety, as the individuals least able to compensate for the effects of the climate are already burdened with adverse social determinants of health. Estimates suggest that the healthcare industry accounts for approximately 8.5% of national carbon emissions. It is important that as dental practitioners we do our part to help improve our dental practice’s environmental footprint.
Dental practices that prioritize sustainability gain meaningful, lasting benefits such as cost savings, operating efficiencies, staff recruitment and retention, and potential payments and tax credits through recent federal incentives.
Network Moderator: Jenn Luca DMD, MS
