From the Cecil Whig, July 10th, 2010:

Only a little more than a year after creating its “Green Team,” Union Hospital has earned recognition for its environmentally conscious initiative from the Maryland Department of the Environment. Representatives from the hospital accepted a 2010 Maryland Green Registry Leadership Award during the first annual awards event at the Green Building Council in Jessup on Tuesday night. The Maryland Green Registry is a voluntary, self-certification program that offers tips and resources to help organizations become a more environmentally friendly operation. It currently serves about 215 business members. Award winners were chosen based on their commitment to continuous improvement and environmental results achieved to date.
