BWH has been awarded one of the fourth annual Mayor’s Green Awards from Mayor Thomas M. Menino. The award recognizes local business and neighborhood leaders for doing their part to make Boston a greener, more sustainable and livable city.
BWH is recognized for having developed a multi-dimensional sustainability strategy in new and existing facilities designed to minimize environmental risks for patients, employees and visitors. Efforts include designing recycling and reuse methods specifically for clinical and laboratory space, the retrofitting of equipment to reduce water use and the banning of equipment containing certain chemicals from the NICU. The 2010 Green Awards were presented by the Mayor to four residential and 14 business leaders at the Prudential Center April 29.
