Video for Hospitals and Health Care Facilities

"Medical Waste: A Call to Action for Health Care" produced for Health Care Without Harm, provides important clarifications for health care facilities that want to be good environmental stewards:

Hospital staff and administrators (and interested community members) may want to look at some key resources for considering greener waste management practices. It is possible to keep incineration to the bare minimum.

We call upon hospitals and health care facilities in NC and elsewhere to become part of the solution, not the problem. We urge them to make a pledge to their patients and community to be good stewards of our public health and environment by using alternatives to incineration.

"What is the right thing? Simply put, it is the elimination of all incineration of medical waste not required by law to be burned." Martha Hamblin, GASP, at Stericyle Annual Stockholder Meeting
