Today we are inaugurating a new section of the blog called GreenSpacesRx. This section will be covering how the Green Movement is impacting the healthcare community. Hopefully, it will also become a resource for healthcare professionals who would like to explore greening their environments.

There are numerous areas where the healthcare community can adopt sustainable practices. From CFL bulbs to LEED-certified facilities, an industry that contributes 16% to the nation's GDP has ample opportunity to contribute to the Green movement. The healthcare industry has a special obligation to spearhead sustainable, non-toxic practices. We will look into issues, products and services that can help with this effort.
