Subject: RE: Question for Sustainability Report
One more point. Please inform your team that the enrollees on that hot linked website is quite outdated and not relevant any longer. The Healthier Hospitals Initiative pre-dates the connection that your hospital has with Practice Greenhealth and this initiative is rolled into membership benefits.
U of I is indeed a member of Practice Greenhealth. The Practice Greenhealth website doesn’t list current members as it’s been taxing to keep up with this task and it’s often outdated. I didn’t realize that I can see an outdated list but that members actually can’t see it. Now I understand Cindy was looking at the Healthier Hospitals site. Now it makes sense to me.
I don’t know what your STARS program is but if you require validation of being a member of a sustainability organization, I am happy to write a separate message to anyone who needs this to be verified.
Kind regards,
Hermine
