Rendell Recognizes Elk Regional
Elk Regional Health System in St. Marys is one of 15 Pennsylvania businesses and organizations being recognized by Governor Ed Rendell for adopting environmentally friendly practices and technologies.
Elk Regional started a biomass project that reduced energy costs and created business for local architects, contractors, equipment designers and manufacturers.
The project cut the system’s fossil fuel use by as much as 90 percent and reduced waste by 5,200 tons per year, saving the company $177,000 in the first year.
During an awards celebration, winners of the 2009 Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence will receive a commemorative award to acknowledge their commitment to environmental quality.
