C3 Chicago Green Health Care Initiative

As part of the Chicago Green Health Care Initiative, C3 has compiled the following materials to emphasize the important connections that exist between our personal health and the health of the environment. Feel free to use these resources in developing a C3 Project, for your personal knowledge, and/or to guide your fellow community members in understanding how they can improve their own heath while being stewards for the environment.

Any questions about these resources can be directed to Sam Mattone at samantha.mattone at cityofchicago.org.
