As much as hospitals save lives and maintain patient care, they have a long history of being wasteful. From Bluewrap to plastic packaging to gloves and bedding, the healthcare system was not necessarily built on a foundation of sustainability, but a focus on human health.

Logan and Taylor explore some options hospitals may have to mitigate waste and continue serving patients without losing out on benjamins!  Hosted by Taylor Karasch and Logan Wikstrom Produced by Nolan Sawyer Watts Instagram: instagram.com/sustainablehorizonspod/ Facebook: facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093657017500 TikTok: tiktok.com/@sustainablehorizonspod Spotify: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sustainable-horizons Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sustainable-horizons/id1691509675 Nolan instagram.com/nolansawyerwatts/ [email protected]  — — —  Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sustainable-horizons/support
