Becker's Hospital Review Names 50 of the Greenest Hospitals in America
CHICAGO (PRWEB) October 13, 2015 -- Becker's Hospital Review has published the 2015 edition of its "50 of the Greenest Hospital in America" list.
The list features hospitals that are leading the industry in sustainable innovation, ecofriendly design and green improvements. These hospitals have won awards and earned prestige for their efforts to reduce their environmental footprint.
Becker's Hospital Review has not published a version of this list since 2013, when it also included 50 hospitals.
The Becker's Hospital Review editorial team selected hospitals for inclusion based on Practice Greenhealth's list of Top 25 Environmental Excellence Award honorees, Practice Greenhealth's Circles of Excellence and participation in all six Healthier Hospital Initiative challenges. Participation in the HHI challenges means committing to having an engaged leadership that supports sustainability efforts, offering healthier food, reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, reducing waste and increasing recycling, transitioning to using safer chemicals and purchasing environmentally preferable products.
The Becker's team also looked at hospitals that are working toward, or have received, some certification level of Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design from the U.S. Green Building Council, and facilities that have been recently named an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year or a National Top 100 Green Energy User by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The full list features individual profiles of all 50 organizations.
