April 1-30: Join the medical center team on the One Healthcare EcoChallenge. We have been invited by Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic and Peace Health to participate in a new EcoChallenge designed just for health care employees – the One Healthcare EcoChallenge. During this month-long challenge during April, health care organizations will come together to support our caregivers in taking actions that promote individual, community and environmental health. By signing up for this free challenge, you can select which actions you want to take during the challenge in the following categories: at work, at home, in our communities, health & well-being and for one health care. You can sign up for up to 6 actions, or just do 1!
The Stericycle reusable sharps container program started in 2021 at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, and since the full implementation, it has been diverting over 70 tons of plastic away from the landfill each year!
How does this work?
Every reusable container from Stericycle replaces the use of up to 600 containers. This significantly reduces plastic and cardboard going to landfills, which supports our zero waste and carbon footprint reduction goals.
