Gary Cohen is a founder and Co-Executive Director of function Health Care Without Harm and is also the Executive Director of the Environmental Health Fund, which works on domestic and global chemical safety issues. According to him, Health Care Without Harm’s mission is to transform the health care sector into one that actually respects the Hippocratic Oath? But what does the Hippocratic Oath mean in this day and age? What does it mean to do no harm? Increasingly it’s clear that in order to prevent diseases in the general public, we need to understand the environmental links to those diseases and do whatever we can to reduce environmental exposures and move to a model of a high-performance healing environment – an environment that actually promotes healing, as opposed to contributing to further disease or exposure or infection.
