Formerly know as, “Healthier Hospitals Initiative (HHI)”. This 3-year campaign began in 2012, where twelve health systems, Practice Greenhealth and the Center for Health Design, formed a guide for hospitals to adopt environmental best practices such as r educing energy and waste and choosing safer and less toxic products. More that 1300 hospitals committed to this new health care model. Today, the program has evolved into Practice Greenhealth’s “Health Care Without Harm”.
Astro chairs are Health Care Without Harm compliant when specified with compliant textiles.
