Healthcare

Balancing today's needs for providing the best possible healthcare and maintaining the complex infrastructures needed to achieve the best patient outcomes is a challenge faced by every healthcare provider. By continuously improving waste, water and energy management, healthcare providers can improve economic and environmental performance.


Safety, efficiency and mission critical reliability

As the second largest energy consumer in nonresidential buildings, healthcare facilities require maximum reliability as any energy interruptions can have a mission critical impact on patient care. 

Combined heat and power systems, microgrids and other distributed generation solutions can offer the required levels of redundancy as well as reduced GHG emissions. We partner with our healthcare clients to implement these solutions as well as guaranteed long term operations and maintenance.

Safe disposal of medical and pharmaceutical waste

15% of hospital waste is potentially hazardous. Improperly disposing of medical and pharmaceutical waste such as contaminated blood, other bodily fluids, syringes, needles, expired drugs and vaccines or mercury thermometers can have disastrous health and environmental effects. We can provide safe handling, transportation, and disposal of medical and pharmaceutical waste for larger healthcare facilities and SHARPS+PAK® kits for smaller facilities and home healthcare providers.

Reducing energy bills and maximizing environmental footprint

Energy is a significant cost center in healthcare facilities.  Energy conservation measures like improved HVAC systems, controls and building management operation systems, and high efficiency lighting can reduce energy consumption while saving funds that can be reinvested back into patient care.  We work with our healthcare customers to implement turnkey efficiency projects and can help minimize upfront capital costs through performance based financing contracts and utility rebates.

We serve more than 3700 healthcare facilities and ensure that their facilities are more reliable, while minimizing their environmental impact, saving energy and reducing other non-medical costs.
