Green Initiatives Interview

Sacred Heart Hospital’s leaders recognize the link between healthy people and a healthy environment. This philosophy is part of the hospital’s Franciscan roots. To encourage this vital connection, leaders throughout our organization created a “Green Team” to assess past progress and current status of the hospital’s green initiatives in reducing, reusing and recycling. While the organization donates extra food daily to the local food pantry, we also provide food scraps to a local animal ranch for feeding. Sacred Heart Hospital also recycles everything from medical equipment to light bulbs and even porcelain sinks.
