Happy Earth Day 2025! With Planetary Health a foundational principle of the 2023-2028 BC Renal strategic action plan, and Earth Day on April 22, we are pleased to share these recent developments and opportunities:
BC Renal’s new strategy for planetary health provides an actionable plan to integrate environmentally sustainable kidney care (ESKC) in BC Renal committees and key activities. Guided by a working group of clinical champions from all regional health authority renal programs, an Indigenous leader, patient and family partners, and BC Renal staff, the strategy outlines key priorities, objectives, and how network members can work together to advance efforts.
