Members‐Only Practice Greenhealth Facility Data on Environmental Practices Practice Greenhealth collects data from its member hospitals, providing a wealth of useful information on PGH facilities, including what environmental and green building activities the facilities are prioritizing, purchasing preferences, which plastics are being recycled, who leads the sustainability effort in facilities, statistics on reusables and reprocessing, environmental program implementation, waste reduction, energy efficiency, green team development, recycling practices and more. Webinar Subscription Membership includes a subscription to all ongoing webinar programs and access to webinar archives.

This information can then be used to inform the development of new products, services or marketing strategies.

(These questions are not required for firms that provide only architecture, design and engineering services.)
To be eligible to join Practice Greenhealth, a product manufacturer, service provider, consultant or other business serving the health care sector must document that its policies, products, services and operations are either in, or moving toward support of Practice Greenhealth’s mission to positively transform health care’s environmental footprint. While it is the clear focus of Practice Greenhealth to support/assist qualified businesses in their sustainability efforts and to move businesses toward increased focus on issues of environmental concern, it is not the role of Practice Greenhealth to bolster the image or visibility of companies that do not demonstrate legitimate attention to such issues. The application process is therefore designed to ascertain whether or not a business is dedicated to greater environmental sustainability and is serious in its commitment.
The following questions will help determine the eligibility of business applicants. Practice Greenhealth reserves the right to accept or reject applicants on the basis of its own internal assessment informed by, but not restricted to, the information provided below. Please review and complete the questionnaire below to establish your qualification as a Practice Greenhealth business member.
This form is kept confidential by Practice Greenhealth and is shared only with the Business Membership Program staff and the Membership Committee.
Has your organization adopted or is it currently utilizing a sustainability platform designed for continuous improvement that establishes environmental sustainability mission, vision, goals and measures that fit within the overall organizational mission, vision and goals?
If no sustainability platform exists, is your business willing to commit to developing and implementing such a platform or program in the first six months of Practice Greenhealth membership?
Has your business demonstrated leadership in the marketplace in promoting/accomplishing environmentally meaningful alterations in its products, processes and purchasing habits?
Will your company partner with Practice Greenhealth in its Greening the Supply Chain Initiative in an ongoing effort to effect continuous improvements that promote the goals of Practice Greenhealth in any of the following areas? (Check each that applies.)
Is your business willing to partner with Practice Greenhealth on areas of environmental concern relative to business practices, products and processes?
Is your business leading or actively involved in any lobbying activity or media efforts that would undermine the basic tenets of Practice Greenhealth’s mission? (Please list the trade groups to which you belong in the comment section below.)
Is your business involved in the incineration of waste (other than pathological, anatomical or trace chemotherapy) in geographic areas where viable treatment or disposal alternatives are acceptable per state regulation?
If yes, can you document that your business is actively encouraging and supporting source reduction, recycling, waste minimization and diversion as a primary focus before incineration?
What civil, legal or regulatory actions, if any, is your business involved in that imply significant impact on the environment (e.g., exceeding maximum allowable emissions)?
Has your business had significant incidents of noncompliance with U.S., state or foreign environmental or other corporate social responsibility laws within the past five years? (Significant incidents may include civil or criminal convictions or no contest pleas on matters that could negatively impact public health or welfare, the environment or the effectiveness of regulatory oversight.)
Is your business willing to partner with Practice Greenhealth in the identification of joint environmental initiatives? Such initiatives may include special joint projects, or receiving feedback on particular policies or activities.
Practice Greenhealth reserves the right and discretion, upon becoming aware of activities which diverge from these criteria, to remove a firm from membership. Practice Greenhealth’s general course of action for addressing noncompliance/conflict with the criteria is:
By entering your name in the signature field, you indicate your intent to agree to the Practice Greenhealth membership contract; you are verifying the information supplied is accurate to the best of your knowledge, and understand that misrepresentation of facts in this form will be viewed by Practice Greenhealth as justification for revoking membership.
Practice Greenhealth is the nation’s leading membership and networking organization for institutions in the healthcare community that have made a commitment to sustainable, eco-friendly practices.
