GREEN Hospitals Act
The GREEN Hospitals Act creates a federal grant program to help hospitals modernize facilities to be more climate-resilient and reduce emissions. It authorizes $100 billion for fiscal year 2024 to fund construction and modernization projects that include specific climate adaptation measures like renewable energy systems, green infrastructure, and improved air quality systems. The program prioritizes hospitals serving vulnerable populations and requires at least 50% of funds to go to environmental justice communities. Hospitals applying for grants must demonstrate how projects will protect patient access during climate events while meeting labor standards. The bill also establishes a separate $5 billion planning grant program to help hospitals develop sustainability plans before receiving construction funds.
