title: Hospitals and the environment.
abstract: Think globally and act locally! This should not be viewed as a worn-out cliché because it is the call to action that has propelled Boulder Community Hospital to the forefront of those exemplary hospitals in the United States that have successfully executed environmentally friendly initiatives. It is this notion that inspired the leadership and staff at the hospital to initiate and embrace changes in their approach to eliminating waste. These achievements, by all measures, are nothing short of amazing.
