On July 10th, the world honors Global Energy Independence Day. At the American Medical Center, this responsibility isn’t a trend. This it’s a promise we made 10 years ago, when we became ISO 14001:2015 certified, formalizing our commitment to environmental stewardship in healthcare.

That certification marked more than compliance. It was the beginning of a long-term mission to minimize our environmental impact and to protect the planet while healing people.

As we celebrate 10 years of environmental responsibility, we’re reminded caring for human life also means caring for the environment we all depend on. A healthier future for patients, staff, and the planet begins with choices we make today. 🌿

A groundbreaking moment in medicine that may change the future of heart care forever 🔍 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 that an Australian man with severe heart failure became the first person in the world to live for 100 days with a total artificial heart; no pulse, no heartbeat, just a small titanium device keeping him alive.💙

Developed by Dr. Daniel Timms at St. Vincent’s Hospital, the BiVACOR heart is the world’s first implantable rotary blood pump that completely replaces the human heart. It has a single moving part, a magnetically levitated rotor, and no mechanical valves, reducing wear and increasing longevity.

This incredible innovation kept the patient alive until a donor heart became available, proving it could become a long-term solution for people waiting for transplants.
