April is Earth Month, and Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) is pleased to announce that as part of our commitment to reducing our environmental impact, the hospital's surgery program is launching a Bring Your Own Bag initiative to reduce the use of plastic bags by at least 20%, keeping more plastic out of landfill. When patients arrive for planned surgeries and other procedures, they are currently provided with a plastic bag to store their clothing and personal belongings for a few hours. Beginning June 1, patients are asked to bring their own clean, reusable, grocery-sized bag with them. PRHC is proud to participate in the ACS National Surgical Quality Improvement Program, and to pursue this initiative as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the care and service we provide.
