How Green is Your Hospital?

Crothall Services Group is recognized as an industry leader in integrating environmentally friendly processes.

As more and more people become aware of the environmental impact hospitals have on their patients and communities, healthcare service providers across the nation are recognizing that they have a civic responsibility to create environments that are as healthy as possible for their patients, as well as their neighbors. We are all aware that medical waste, cleaning products, hospital supplies, and building materials can generate toxic pollution. What many of us may fail to realize is that these by-products of the healthcare industry, combined with insufficient facility ventilation and waste management systems, may contribute to longer recovery times for patients, higher incidents of illness among hospital staff, and less profitable bottom lines.

In response to this issue, several industry organizations have been formed to address the environmental impact of hospitals.These organizations are dedicated to creating national healthcare standards that stress the use of safer construction materials, the use of less toxic cleaning products, and the conservation of energy and water usage in hospital settings. Their mission is to promote and educate healthcare professionals on how they can create a healthy hospital environment and be environmentally responsible corporate citizens.

Crothall Services Group is on the cutting edge when it comes to supporting the "Green" healthcare model. By providing our customers with products, equipment, and processes that are efficient and environmentally sensitive,we work hard to protect our patients and surrounding communities from unnecessary exposure to toxins and other pollutants.
