Healthcare facilities are beginning to evaluate products' potential health risks to create toxin-free hospitals in the future, according to an article on the GreenBiz website.
Recently, representatives from hospitals, health systems and medical products or supplier companies gathered in Dallas at the 13th CleanMed Conference.
A focus of CleanMed was on harnessing the buying power of healthcare to promote healthy, sustainable, locally sourced food in hospital cafeterias and food service.
Conference attendees also discussed strategies to tackle food waste.
