Aventura Hospital and Medical Center was recognized for the second year in a row by the City of Aventura as a “Go Green Initiative Award” recipient for its energy conservation efforts.
This year, Aventura Hospital and Medical Center was commended for its efforts to save trees and reduce waste through its new Medical Records print minimalization program. Since undertaking this initiative in November 2009, Aventura Hospital has successfully reduced toner cartridge waste by 85 percent. More significantly, the Medical Records department decreased monthly paper consumption by 2,650 pounds, the equivalent of saving 408 trees each year.
In addition to reducing waste, Aventura Hospital also uses native trees and plants for its landscaping and places automatic timers with rain sensors on all lawn sprinklers to conserve water.
