We are also very passionate about our environment

• We recycle many tonnes of paper each year
• We have at significant cost switched from harmful x-ray chemicals to digital radiography in all of our radiography departments
• We have installed 8 KW of solar panels on the two Accredited Hospitals to contribute to green energy
• We recycle hundreds of cans and bottles each month and use the proceeds for in house patient charity, visit the Morphett Vale Hospital soon and have a tour of our charity wall
• We have recently begun using fresh fruit at each hospital rather than processed foods as staff snacks, a healthy environmental choice
