As part of its 119th anniversary celebration, and its endeavor to take a holistic approach in green healthcare, St. Luke's Medical Center recently introduced sustainability efforts centered on helping address the country's plastic waste pollution, and empowering partner communities with livelihood opportunities as part of its Culture of Care CSR program.
The institution has launched a distinctive line of environment friendly room amenities specially made by partner communities from Zamboanga, Aklan, Bicol, La Union, Benguet, Kalinga Apayao, Sagada, Cavite, Rizal, Batangas and Payatas.
Among these locally made, eco-friendly products are handcrafted bath soaps, shampoo and conditioner bars, soap dishes, handwoven blankets, burlap slippers, coco sugar and drenched coffee, that ensures patients' comfort, while reducing the adverse environmental impact and waste generated during their stay, and providing partner communities livelihood programs that can improve their quality of life.
