Affinity's Green Initiative
Environmentally friendly care for Northeast Wisconsin
Green health care focuses on providing patients with the highest degree of care while taking steps to protect the environment. Small steps, like using exam gowns made out of recycled paper to larger steps like building a clinic with recycled materials, are all part of health care’s push to be green.
Each action accumulates into savings both financially and ecologically. At Affinity, we take pride in being an industry leader in sustainable design and finding new ways to protect our environment. Innovation moves us toward better care, a better environment and a better world.
