University of Maryland School of Nursing

Two-year funding for continued support of the Maryland Hospitals for a Healthy Environment (MD H2E) initiative. The program has been designed to improve the environmental impact of health care institutions in Maryland over the course of two years by reducing reliance on medical water incinerators, reducing or eliminating the use of mercury-containing and PVC products, increasing reliance on locally grown food products, and conducting workshops for hospital management in an effort to make the hospitals environmentally safe.
