Sustainability
Sustain MUSC builds healthy communities by inspiring and implementing solutions to environmental, social and economic challenges.
The role of the Sustainability Department at the Medical University of South Carolina is to promote campus sustainability through programs and initiatives across campus, but also to provide sustainability expertise and leadership to our campus and the Greater Charleston Community.
A general definition of sustainability is the ability to meet our needs in the present without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their needs. For MUSC, this means serving our community by balancing environmental, social and economic interests.
An impact you can count on.
Our commitment is more than a promise—it's a tangible impact that improves health for every community and family we serve across the state and region.
