The Green Guide for Health Care is a superb resource. It helps the leaders and managers of health care institutions "walk the talk", promoting the health of patients, visitors, employers, community members, and the global community, while operating economically and efficiently. I hope that every medical center, hospital, and clinic in the nation gets a copy of the Green Guide, takes its lessons to heard, and joins the growing movement toward healthier, more environmentally friendly environments in the health care sector.
