| Project Description |
On June 13, 2002, NHPPP, Foundation for Healthy Communities, and Healthcare Without Harm, sponsored "Reducing Our Ecological Footprint: Understanding the Rela-tionships Between Health, the Environment and the Products Used in Healthcare." The workshop focused on the lifecycle hazards of some common medical products and the proper use and disposal of these products. The workshop also highlighted three group-purchasing organizations' environmental programs and their efforts to provide environmentally preferable products. Over 65 registrants, representing most of the NH hospitals, and other interested parties, attended the full-day workshop. |
