This resource for Catholic health ministry, Faithfully Healing the
Earth: Catholic Health Care and Climate Change, highlights the many reasons why
climate change is an important issue for us as faith-based providers of health
care and consumers of energy. It was developed to introduce Catholic health care
leaders to the issues surrounding Climate Change and to suggest steps that can
be taken to address this escalating, but solvable problem. The 26-page booklet
is provided as part of a ministry–wide effort to raise awareness about global
climate change being undertaken by the Catholic Health Association – in
cooperation with Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI), Denver; Covenant Health
Systems, Lexington, Mass.; and Trinity Health, Novi, Mich. The effort is funded
through receipt of a grant from the National Religious Partnership for the
Environment (NRPE) and the Catholic Coalition on Climate Change. There is also
an accompanying poster that can be ordered.
