This was a jam-packed show on Green Teams.
If last week was all about the external aspects of greening an organizations -buildings and facilities management– this week was all about how health care organizations build green teams. The best practices, and the learning moments.
Colleen Cusick of Johns Hopkins Health System talked about the sub-groups in the team that take leadership in many sectors of a health care system,. Joan Plisko talked about the corporate culture that drives behavior, and the need to have everybody on the same page.
At the top of the show , we spoke to Liz Sharp, VP of investor relations at Smith & Wesson on corporate social responsibility, and one event that we support here in the community, in collaboration with the Arizona Animal Welfare League and SPCA.

On this week’s show we have two guests who are front and center of Green Teams in health care.
Dr. Joan D. Plisko of Maryland Hospitals for a Healthy Environment (MD H2E) – a grant funded initiative housed at the University of Maryland School of Nursing. Dr. Plisko has received several awards, including the the EPA Region 3 Award for Environmental Achievement.
Colleen Cusick is the co-founder and current chair of the Green Team for The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Her role in the green team includes consulting with manufacturers on product development, packaging improvements, and product safety.
The enormous interest in Green Teams made us consider this as a two part series. We set the stage last week on the show with what they look like from those managing facilities. This week, we’ll address what the structure of a Green team looks like, and ask our guests about the roles team members play.
