OR RECYCLING @ MGH
Since launching a unique, cost-free recycling program two years ago, the MGH Vincent Obstetrics & Gynecology Labor and Delivery Unit has distributed more than 6,000 supplies to resource-limited health care facilities worldwide, including to countries such as Haiti, Sudan and Uganda.
“It’s really amazing,” says Angela Ferrari, CNM, MS, nurse midwife, who co-chairs the program with physician Erik Clinton, MD. “This program has turned out to be so easy, and it’s great that we get to connect with others both locally and globally.”
