Practice Greenhealth’s Awards program has celebrated sustainability success since 2002. The Awards recognize the different players in the greening community (hospitals, clinics, manufacturers, GPOs, A&E firms, etc.). One of the Awards for which hospitals may apply, the Partner for Change Award, requires waste data reporting as well as other criteria. This report summarizes this waste data and various sustainable activities provided by the 2009 Partner for Change Award winners and presents a snapshot of what types of greening activities American hospitals are implementing today.
