The ecosystem has been affected adversely in the 20thcentury. Global warming is a threat to mankind. To meet patients' needs healthcare facilities consume resources intensively and contribute to the carbon footprint. Adoption of sustainable measures will reduce their carbon footprint and aid to reduce the negative impact on the environment. HCO employing sustainable measures can gradually reduce its negative impacts. This paper discusses how the current HCO shifted from being resource-intensive to an environmentally friendly setup. The transition from conventional healthcare setups to green healthcare will benefit in multiple areas. Overall, such green healthcare setups will have multiple benefits. Such initiatives will increase overall efficiency, significant financial benefits, and a healthy environment for the staff, patients, and society. This study can assist hospital and care system leaders in determining their organization's route to sustainability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
