Growing your hospital? Go green, too
By Pamela Paxton
New hospital construction – such as that ongoing in Baltimore, for instance – provides a perfect opportunity to go green at your facility. Not only are environmentally-sound practices good for the environment, they can reap big financial benefits, too. Read here about Metro Health’s successes with cost-saving green construction and practices.
Metro Health Hospital, the recent winner of the Practice Greenhealth award, has made great strides toward implementing eco-friendly practices (going green), which have afforded the hospital and its community many benefits, including increased patient safety and satisfaction, decreased costs, and a negative environmental impact.
