EVENT HOST

The Sustainability Institute

As Event Host, we are proud to be able to continue to bring and support this community event to our area.

Sustainability is commonly framed through a lens of scarcity and fear of the future, but the Sustainability Institute takes a different approach.  We believe that embracing sustainability leads to abundance of well-being, clean air and water, nutritious food, decent jobs, and biodiversity, pointing us toward a more vibrant future for our communities. At the Sustainability Institute, we help the Driftless region create a positive vision of what could be by celebrating regional sustainability efforts and connecting individuals to them and each other.

Gundersen Health Systems

Legacy Sponsors have donated above and beyond the provided sponsor levels. We thank you!

We care ... we care about our patients but we also care about our planet. And what mankind is doing to this earth is a tragedy beyond measure. We are committed to improving the health of the communities we serve and controlling rising energy costs by reducing consumption through improving efficiency and creating cleaner energy. In October 2014, we became the first healthcare system in the country to produce more energy than we consume and become energy independent. We continue to seek innovative solutions to environmental issues to protect our air, water and land to reduce our carbon footprint. As healthcare organizations continue to implement population health management programs, many are considering how their environmental footprint affects the health and well-being of the communities they serve. We can help. Gundersen Health System's environmental program Envision® is providing leadership for the healthcare industry to demonstrate that "green" is healthy, socially responsible and economically beneficial.
