Environmental Protection
Beginning with a partnership with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) in the 1990s, OHA embarked on a campaign to assist hospitals with pollution prevention and waste reduction in Ohio.
OHA's Environmental Leadership Council provides leadership, support and technical resources to Ohio hospitals in their efforts to reduce waste, prevent pollution, and comply with environmental regulations. The Council consists of representatives from hospitals and organizations such as the Ohio Nurses Association and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
OHA's environmental advocacy is accomplished through its Hospital Pollution Prevention (P2) Initiative, a hands-on approach to evaluate waste systems. Learn more about OHA's P2 University. In 2010, funding from the Ohio Environmental Education fund allowed OHA to create a how-to guide to help hospitals host medication take-back events.
