• Reuse:  Donated all of our hospital Psych beds to the homeless shelter!
• Use energy efficient florescent bulbs.
• Use re-usable sharps containers throughout the hospital and our medical office buildings.
• Housekeeping uses micro-fiber cleaning cloths & mops that can be washed up to 500 times.
• All of our toilet paper and paper towels are made from recycled material.
• Use floor scrubbing machines that do not use any chemicals.
• Over 60% of our chemicals are "Green Seal".
• Use magic erasers for cleaning non-patient care areas when we can (no chemicals).
• Use steam cleaners that use no chemicals to sanitize and clean.
• Our air freshener dispensers use all natural deodorant sticks.
• Recycle old linens and expired packaged needles by donating them to the humane society.
• Donate old incontinent pads to Hospice.
• All unopened shampoos, combs, tooth paste, etc from patient rooms that are left are donated to the homeless shelters.

• Recycle all heavy metal items by taking them to Sides Recycling Center.
• Recycle 55 pounds of batteries each week by taking them to Ellis Battery.
• Recycle "disposable" metal surgical instruments.
• Recycle cardboard and aluminum cans.  For the cans, we provide the recycle containers and staff take the cans home to recycle.
• Use vinegar to dissolve hard waster spots whenever possible (safe and natural).
• Recycle our old phone books each year.
• All of our Personal Health Information papers are shredded by a company called Cintas and then recycled.(each year this saves 4,650 trees, 104,000 gallons of oil, 2,000,000 gallons of water and 817 cubic yards of landfill.
• Recycle everything with a cord or a battery, like computers, pagers, calculators, refrigerators, printers, copiers, phones, cell phones, etc.

• We always wash full loads of linens to save water.
• We are negotiations with a company called RJ Kool to start a program to use Ozone in our linen washing program, which will allow us to use cold water to wash with. This would save a lot of energy as we wash almost 2 million pounds of linen a year.
• We use electronic Medical Records throughout the hospital and all of our medical offices.

We continue to look for ways to save energy and recycle.
