🌿 Building a Healthier Tomorrow — Together! 🌿

At ChristianaCare’s Environmental Health Conference: Building a Healthier Tomorrow, caregivers and community leaders came together to explore how our environment impacts health — from air quality and heat exposure to food systems, plastics, and health care waste. 💚

Hosted by our Environmental Sustainability Caregiver Committee, the conference focused on empowering people with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions for themselves, their families, and their communities.

We’re grateful to Delaware State Sen. Stephanie Hansen and Bettina Tweardy Riveros, ChristianaCare’s Chief Public Affairs and Health Equity Officer, for opening the day with an inspiring reminder: when we work together, informed and united, we can drive healthier outcomes for all. 🌎

Special thanks to our partners and presenters — including experts from Cooper University Health Care, Nemours Children’s Health, Inova Health, and Penn Medicine — for sharing valuable insights on the frontlines of environmental health. 👏

And a heartfelt thank-you to Greg O’Neill, Dr. Marci Drees, and Deanna Benner for their leadership and dedication in making this event possible.

Together, we’re advancing the connection between environmental sustainability and health — for the and the health of our planet. 💚✨

Medical librarians are our superstars! Their knowledge and expertise help caregivers engage in critical research, find high-quality publication resources and access relevant health information. From printed books to electronic databases, medical librarians are crucial to helping advance health research through content curation and evaluation.

Our medical libraries are available to all our caregivers for use in the John H. Ammon Medical Education Center and the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute, both on the Newark campus. Patients and their families can visit the Junior Board Cancer Research Library at HFGCC from 8 am - 4:30 pm Monday-Friday.
