Join us for an eye-opening exploration of healthcare's surprising role in the climate crisis and its potential to drive positive change. In this final segment of our Deep Dive series, we uncover how hospitals and medical facilities contribute to 4.6% of global emissions—but more importantly, how they can become powerful leaders in building a sustainable future. From solar-powered hospitals to eco-conscious medical practices, we'll explore practical solutions that are good for both planetary and human health. Whether you're a healthcare professional or simply someone who cares about our collective wellbeing, this episode offers hope and actionable insights for creating a healthier world for all. Come dive in with us as we connect the dots between healthcare, climate action, and social justice.

This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy

Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter. Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.

Thanks for listening today!

Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.
