In 2009, UMMC began multiple recycling programs to minimize regulated medical waste and maximize recycling. The hospital utilizes energy-conscious LED lighting and is working with its medical staff to share best practices for energy conservation. UMMC aims to decrease waste by donating open and unused medical supplies to developing nations or medical and nurse training schools.
