Waste Reduction and Recycling

One of the Hospital's Simple Rules of Work is to use our resources wisely. Hospital Departments have looked for many ways to reduce their waste which also reduces our costs. Following are some Hospital programs that have reduced our waste:

• SICU and Surgery Waste Reduction
• Blue Wrap Reduction

• Energy
• Green Linen
• Materials Management Waste Reduction
• Paper Reduction
• Pharmacy Inventory Control
• Recycling
• Reprocessing Medical Equipment
• Reusable Utensils
• Reusable Water Bottles
• Water Conservation
