Breaking news to report today! LifeBridge Health has won the first Green Policy category award at the Baltimore Business Journal's inaugural Green Business awards luncheon. The Green Awards recognize the greenest Baltimore businesses in seven different categories.
LifeBridge Health was recognized for reducing energy costs by nearly $400,000 last year by switching to compact fluorescent lighting in operating rooms, cafeterias, hallways and parking garages and asking employees to turn off lights when leaving rooms.
