Interest Groups

America’s Essential Hospitals has interest groups on a variety of topics important to essential hospitals. Any employee of a member hospital is free to join these groups for regular calls, webinars, and in-person meetings at events such as VITAL.


Climate Resilience and Mitigation Interest Group

The Climate Resilience and Mitigation Interest Group (CRMIG) will give members the opportunity to share priorities, concerns, and experiences with establishing and improving climate resilience and mitigation efforts within their hospitals and health systems.

With the support of The Kresge Foundation, the Institute published reports in 2019 and 2022 reflecting on essential hospitals’ climate resilience and mitigation efforts. The CRMIG will use member feedback provided in these reports to inform its discussions by prioritizing key focus areas raised in both reports, including:

  • Educating leadership.
  • Goal setting.
  • Demonstrating return on investment.
  • Broadcasting successful outcomes to peers.
  • Promoting coalitions and partnerships with local private and public organizations to unify and expand efforts.

The CRMIG will meet virtually on a quarterly basis starting in late March 2023. The group will cover a variety of sustainability topics with an overall goal of raising awareness, connecting, and empowering essential hospitals to mitigate climate change and build resiliency with an eye toward improving racial and economic equity.
