From there, we will connect this footprint to the broader global movement linking climate and health, highlighting why sustainability is increasingly central to both patient outcomes and system resilience.We will then examine how climate change is already shaping global health outcomes—from increased disease burden and supply chain disruption to rising operational costs and system strain—making this not only an environmental issue, but a core healthcare challenge.Building on this foundation, the session will move into practical solutions across three levels of impact:Healthcare systems: strategies to reduce emissions, improve efficiency, and enhance resilience at scaleLaboratories: actionable steps to drive sustainability in research and clinical environments without compromising qualityGlobal initiatives: including leadership movements such as the United Nations Race to Zero, Science Based Target Initiative, Ecovadis, Practice Green Health, Join Commissions Healthcare Certification, and My Green Lab Certification and how organizations can align with international frameworks to accelerate progressParticipants will leave with practical, immediately applicable actions to integrate sustainability into their daily work and personal lives. Attendees will also receive a My Green Lab Ambassador Certificate, equipping them to champion sustainable practices within their organizations and networks.The program will be followed by a panel discussion featuring sustainability leaders from the Spokane healthcare and life sciences community, offering local perspectives on challenges, opportunities, and innovation in the region.Panelists:Jeff Yirak, Mechanical Engineering Principal, McKinstryDr. Brian Henning, Professor of Philosophy and of Environmental Studies & Sciences, Gonzaga UniversityRyan Arnold, Regional Business Manager, Avista CorporationDr. Michaele Armstrong, Executive Director, Evergreen Bioscience Innovation ClusterWe will conclude with a happy hour reception, providing an opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and build peer-to-peer relationships within Spokane’s rapidly growing bioeconomy ecosystem.Event ScheduleWorkshop: 3:00 – 5:00 PMNetworking Happy Hour: 5:00 – 6:00 PMDate: June 30, 2026Location: Fuel CoworkingAgenda?: 03:00 PM - 05:00 PMSustainability in Life Sciences and Healthcare WorkshopHost: James Connelly?: 05:00 PM - 06:30 PMNetworking Happy Hour, sponsored by Cowles Ventures - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/spokane/local-action-global-impact-sustainability-in-life-sciences-and-healthcare/100001986905951186 - **Event Categories**: science-fair, health-wellness, workshops, business, sports, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: FUEL Coworking - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Spokane - **state**: WA - **country**: United States - **location**: FUEL Coworking - **lat**: 47.6587901 - **long**: -117.4241207 - **full address**: FUEL Coworking, 809 West Main Avenue, Spokane, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Local Action, Global Impact: Sustainability in Life Sciences and Healthcare - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/c09c2b170515e311c44c7b66c2f771b8d036c6053fb5cb64eb0220dccf6ff276-rimg-w1200-h594-dcfefefe-gmir.jpg?v=1775610570 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Local Action, Global Impact: Sustainability in Life Sciences and Healthcare being held? - **A:** Local Action, Global Impact: Sustainability in Life Sciences and Healthcare takes place on Tue, 30 Jun, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Tue, 30 Jun, 2026 at 05:00 pm at FUEL Coworking, 809 West Main Avenue, Spokane, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Local Action, Global Impact: Sustainability in Life Sciences and Healthcare? - **A:** Local Action, Global Impact: Sustainability in Life Sciences and Healthcare is organized by Evergreen Bioscience Innovation Cluster. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
