ICMA ... AND THE ENVIRONMENT

As responsible members of the health community, ICMA pledges to leave the environment better than we found it. As consumers of the earth's resources we consider it our responsibility to reduce and eventually eliminate the environmental impact of our activities processes. The transition to environmentally conscious practice is a management fostered life long philosophy that drives our commitment to sustainability.
