IN-6: Hospital Network

The Humboldt State University Student Health Center committed to the Healthier Hospitals Initiative during the early part of the Spring semester 2017. To start, the Center will focus on the following challenge areas: engaged leadership, less waste, and safer chemicals, and expects to ramp up sustainability planning that incorporates additional changes upon completion of initial goals. Progress will be reported through the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. Goals include: -Engaged Leadership: support the institutionalization of an organization-wide sustainability policy Level 1 entails identifying champions, setting goals, and documenting success. -Less Waste: reduce waste and increase recycling Level 1 entails a commitment to achieving a 15% recycling rate compared to total waste. -Safer Chemicals: transition to safer chemicals and products Level 1 entails creating an inventory of cleaning products and purchasing 90% Green Seal or UL ECOLOGO cleaning products in the following categories: carpet, windows, all purpose, bathroom, and general floor care. The campus has not yet developed a webpage outlining this commitment and the selected goals but more information about the Student Health Center in general may be found at http://www2.humboldt.edu/health/student-health-center-welcome.

Although HSU does not host a hospital on-site for inpatient procedures, the University does have a health care facility on-site that is staffed by doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals who are dedicated to meeting the health needs of the student community, promoting wellness and independence, and collaborating with local and regional resources to provide access to comprehensive services. The facility is called the Humboldt State University Student Health Center. Read more at http://www2.humboldt.edu/health/student-health-center-welcome.
