2012 Environmental Excellence Awards
Awards Season is open!
The Practice Greenhealth Environmental Excellence Awards recognize outstanding efforts in environmental improvement. Get recognition for the hard work you do! There are Awards to fit different levels of achievement along the path to sustainability.
- Partner Recognition
- Partner for Change, Partner for Change with Distinction and Environmental Leadership Circle
- DEHP-Free Award (this application can be found as Appendix C of the Partner for Change Award application; generously made possible by Hospira, maker of DEHP-free VisIV Containers)
- Making Medicine Mercury-Free
- System for Change
- Champion for Change (for suppliers, service providers, and business members)
Winning an Award can be a great way to energize your environmental programs and get recognition in-house, in your community, and nationally among your peers. And coming to CleanMed 2012 can be a great way to learn and network with other healthcare professionals. Please note that due to the high number of Award applications, we simply can not "pre-screen" your Award application for you.
We will be holding webinars on the awards process on Tuesday, December 13 at 2:00 p.m. EST and Wednesday, January 11, at 2:00 p.m. EST. Register for these webinars at here.
The deadline for applications is February 3, 2012 at 11:59 p.m. EST.
