Hospital Chooses Paper Over Plastic

"Lawrence Memorial Hospital prides itself in its healthcare and community leadership," said Debbie Miers, director of food and nutrition services, in a press release. "Offering green products and wares in a cafeteria is a responsible step for people's health and the health of our planet."

In addition to the new bottled water alternative, the hospital has introduced other sustainability initiatives, including increasing the facility's energy efficiency and recycling.
