For us, sustainability is more than a goal — it’s a responsibility. 🌿
Through collaboration between our Supply Chain, Imaging, and Sustainability teams, we converted 53 CT scanners to GE Healthcare’s bulk contrast injectors, resulting in:
✅ A projected 78,000-pound reduction in plastic waste each year
✅ Estimated savings of $875,000 in disposal costs
✅ Faster, more efficient CT scans for patients
“This is what we can achieve when we collaborate across divisions toward a shared goal,” said Lisa Darger, Sentara’s director of sustainability.
This initiative also helps decrease microplastics entering waterways and frees up valuable storage space in our facilities — redefining how we deliver efficient, patient-centered, and environmentally responsible care.
