ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Several leading US healthcare organizations choosing Compass One Healthcare as its food and nutrition services, environmental services, and/or facilities management provider have been honored with awards as part of the 2020 Practice Greenhealth Awards. Practice Greenhealth is the leading membership and networking organization for sustainable health care, delivering environmental solutions to hospitals and health systems across the United States.
Two Compass One Healthcare companies played important supporting roles in these awards. Morrison Healthcare’s leadership in food and nutrition services included reducing meat purchases and consumption; procuring better quality meat products; local and sustainable sourcing; increasing access to healthy beverages and preventing food waste. Crothall Healthcare provided sound chemical reduction policies, green clean methodologies, and sustainable products, services and equipment.
“We are excited that so many of our partners have been recognized by Practice Greenhealth for their excellence in providing sustainability solutions,” said Lisa Roberson, Morrison’s National Director of Sustainability and Wellness. “Procuring sustainable food in healthcare is continuing to grow, and we are proud to bring our commitment and purchasing power to help our partners achieve their sustainability goals. Together, we are delivering food that is safer and healthier for our patients and guests every day.”
“We’ve invested heavily in sustainable equipment and cleaning solutions, and we’re extremely proud that our hospital partners are using our standards and protocols as best practices to clean and disinfect hospitals nationwide,” said Rich Feczko, Crothall Healthcare’s National Director of Systems, Standards, Innovation & Global Support.
Practice Greenhealth’s highest honor is its 25 Environmentally Excellent Hospitals, which recognizes all-around sustainability performance. Morrison and Crothall provided services and played supporting roles for two winners on this list – Boston Medical Center and Hackensack Meridian Health Jersey Shore. Morrison also serves Cleveland Clinic and Crothall serves Hackensack Meridian University Medical Center.
Hackensack Meridian University Medical Center earned a Leadership Circle of Excellence Award, which awards hospitals supporting a long-term commitment to healthier environments. Hackensack Meridian Health earned a Chemicals Circle of Excellence award, which addresses toxicity through purchasing, change of products, services and equipment, and staff education on hazardous chemicals. In addition, Hackensack Meridian Health earned a place on the EPP Circle list, which honors the best in environmentally preferable purchasing programs. Crothall Healthcare provides the environmental services that were part of these efforts for the Hackensack Meridian Health System.
