Going Green
St. Anthony Hospital is recognized for being eco-friendly
I
n 2011, when St. Anthony Hospital opened,
its innovative eco-design won it the City of
Lakewood’s Sustainability Award. In 2012, the
just-completed twin Medical Plazas merited
the same honor for their energy-saving functionality.
This year, the hospital is back in the honors circle for
its achievement in three areas: waste reduction and
recycling, community health and engagement, and
economic stability.
A key factor in the decision is the hospital’s development of a special “dashboard” to track important metrics related to sustainability. Items tracked
include more than 50 energy conservation strategies,
waste reduction and recycling goals, public health
partnerships and various economic sustainability
efforts. Highlights include:
• Energy Star certification placing St. Anthony in
the top 25 percent for energy efficiency in the nation
compared with similar hospitals.
• First in Colorado to use the TransVac system,
which automates the waste-handling process, reduces
risk of infection and increases recycling rates.
• Partnership for a Healthier America meal program set to roll out over the next three years, bringing healthier food options to patients and guests.
Thank you, City of Lakewood, for recognizing our ongoing efforts! We’re proud to be part of the neighborhood.
Correction: The spring 2013 issue of Vim & Vigor
incorrectly identified the neurointensive care
contributions of Philip Yarnell, MD, and Stuart
Rosenberg, MD. We regret the error.
