Recognizing Dottie Cook, CCU Sustainability Champion

All healthcare employees have a role to play in supporting sustainability initiatives within Carilion Clinic to help us reduce waste and minimize our impact on the environment.  Always with a focus on improving the health of the communities we serve.

One individual who is helping lead Sustainability is Dottie Cook on 7 South CCU at CRMH. She has linked her Sustainability values with her daily work and unit operations.  She holds Sustainability meetings with fellow staff on initiatives to decrease waste and hospital costs. With her influence her unit has seen noteworthy cost savings.

Her past and current initiatives have helped to:

We want to thank you, Dottie Cook,  for all of your hard work and leading the way for Sustainability!
