While we focus on developing solutions that heal people, we need to simultaneously ensure we aren’t harming the health of the planet. This certification reflects our dedication to creating a more sustainable healthcare ecosystem and exemplifies our core value of providing an environment in which people can live healthier and more enjoyable lives.”
