The Association for the Healthcare Environment (AHE) has launched a new certificate program to acknowledge the ongoing and outstanding environment and ecological sustainability efforts of health care environmental service departments.

AHE’s Environmental Sustainability Certificate Program provides facilities and organizations an opportunity to demonstrate accomplishments related to environmental sustainability and stewardship.

The program provides guidance on budget friendly, efficient, effective and value-added environmentally sustainable health care operations for facilities of all sizes and care settings. The certificate program is a component of AHE’s overall sustainability efforts, which include the Sustainability Roadmap for Hospitals and educational opportunities.
