The changes we are causing to our global environment now threaten everyone's health. As such, health systems and professionals should consider environmental sustainability as part of good health and care. Climate change is only one of the global challenges we face, but the problems presented by ignoring it, and the immediate health benefits offered by addressing it, are too significant for health professionals to ignore. High-quality healthcare depends on addressing the social and environmental determinants of health and disease, more so in rural and indigenous areas. The Mater Hospital's reconciling Francis' global holistic approach to local Aboriginal expertise addresses both needs at the same time.
我们现在对全球环境造成的变化正在威胁每个人的健康。因此，卫生系统和专业人员应该将环境可持续性视为良好健康和护理的一部分。气候变化只是我们面临的全球挑战之一，但忽视它所带来的问题，以及解决它所带来的直接健康益处，对卫生专业人员来说太大了，不容忽视。高质量的医疗保健取决于解决健康和疾病的社会和环境决定因素，在农村和土著地区更是如此。 Mater 医院融合了弗朗西斯的全球整体方法和当地的土著专业知识，同时满足了这两方面的需求。
