Aspirus Medford Hospital Earns National Sustainability Award

Aspirus Medford Hospital (AMH) is one of seven Aspirus Health hospitals to earn Practice Greenhealth’s 2022 Partner for Change Award in recognition of achievement and innovation in health care sustainability. Practice Greenhealth is the nation’s leading organization dedicated to environmental sustainability in health care.

The Greenhealth Partner for Change Award recognizes superior performance in environmental sustainability, covering a range of different sustainability programs and activities. Winners have an ongoing commitment to improving their environmental performance and lead efforts to build sustainability into the operations and culture of their hospitals.

In 2018, Aspirus established the systemwide Aspirus Sustainability Initiative as a coordinated, strategic effort to identify and put into practice sustainability measures to improve the lives of patients and the health of communities. The strategies include minimizing waste and improving recycling, addressing chemicals of concern, lowering energy use and water consumption, sourcing food and products sustainably, incorporating sustainable features into the buildings and grounds, establishing environmentally preferable purchasing criteria, shifting fleet vehicles to a cleaner and lower carbon fleet, and more.

Congratulations, AMH!

Updated Site Migration Event Schedule

Important: Make sure any files located on Ascension home drives are moved to Aspirus home drives prior to the workstation migration in your area. This means items should be in the O: or Y: drives while using Tablacus Explorer. You will not have access to any of the legacy drive locations once your workstation is migrated. More information is available in this Tip Sheet.

REMINDERS

• Once your workstation is migrated, users will log in using your Aspirus credentials and will access any remaining legacy Ascension apps through Citrix.
• Also at this time, Aspirus IT will officially take over management and support of your workstation.
