Advancing Sustainable & Equitable Healthcare with Atlantic Health System

Age of Adoption

Nikki Sumpter, Chief Administrative Officer of Atlantic Health System, joins us to discuss the health system's efforts to address health equity and sustainability in the Age of Adoption.

Nikki shares how Atlantic Health System is working to create a more equitable and sustainable healthcare system for its staff, patients, and the communities in which it operates. She explains that by increasing access to transportation, providing language assistance, and improving health education, the hospital is already seeing the impact of its efforts.

Atlantic Health System is also addressing its carbon footprint, given the negative impacts the climate crisis has on human health. Nikki explains how the hospital is considering its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and, in doing so, adjusting how it uses water, how patients get to their appointments, and how the hospital sources its food.
