Our commitment to minimizing healthcare's carbon footprint.
We at Rochester Regional Health believe in the close relationship between the well-being of our community, environment, and our financial health. Guided by this belief, we manage all our resources conscientiously, aiming to limit our environmental footprint and spearhead sustainability initiatives in the Northeast.
Though it is known that hospitals consume more than double the energy than typical commercial buildings and generate significant waste per patient, Rochester Regional Health is steadfast in breaking this norm.
Our Sustainability Department is devoted to refining the healthcare experience, preserving a robust environment, and curbing healthcare costs. We're actively managing waste, eliminating harmful substances, and fostering a sustainable community for now and future generations.
