Sustainabil-ID: Healing People and the Planet

Sustainability in healthcare is no longer a distant goal—it’s happening now. Across hospitals, health professionals are rethinking long-standing practices to cut waste and make care safer, smarter, and more resilient.

On this week’s episode, host Lisa Patel sits down with Drs. Preeti Jaggi and Shreya Doshi. Together, they have established “Sustainabil-ID,” a collaborative dedicated to advancing sustainable practices within healthcare, with a particular focus on infectious diseases. They discuss their journey into environmental stewardship, how health systems can be doing better, and what health professionals across all specialties can do to support this work.
