Hospitals for a Healthy Environment
New Hampshire Hospitals for a Healthy Environment (NH3E)
NH3E is a network of hospitals concerned with how their
practices can impact the environment and health of the
communities they serve. Its purpose is to learn and share
information with other New Hampshire hospitals facing similar
concerns and challenges while working to reduce both the
volume and toxicity of their waste. Here you can find its
vision statement, meeting announcements and minutes and other
information pertinent to the activities of the network.
Hospitals
for a Healthy Environment (H2E)
H2E is a cooperative effort of the American Hospital
Association (AHA), the EPA, the American Nurses Association,
and Health Care Without Harm. H2E is working to implement the
1998 memorandum of understanding between the AHA and the EPA
to eliminate mercury-containing waste from the waste stream
and reduce the total volume of all waste generated by U.S.
hospitals. Here hospitals can find tools to assist them in
reaching the goals of the partnership, as well as other
information related to improving their environmental
performance.
