Announcements
Thank you to everyone who attended our Virtual Award Celebration on Thursday, May 2! One attendee described the event as “ a beautiful tribute to so many wonderful colleagues at FMC”.
The 2023 FMC MSA recipients’ award videos are available on the award webpages:
Do your part for the planet, try a compostable mask! Did you know that in 2020 there were 129 billion masks being thrown out globally every month? That is 3 million masks a minute. These masks have unfortunately found themselves in many unwanted spaces, including thousands of reported incidents of animals ingesting or entangling themselves in our human masks. Traditional single use masks do not disintegrate but much like other single-use plastic items they turn into microplastics. A compostable mask can offer the same protection (ASTM Level 3) as a single use mask PLUS it has the ability to compost in a municipal composting program. Over their life cycle a compostable mask will also provide a 65% reduction in carbon emissions compared to a traditional mask. This is just one way in which we can be stewards of our health care community and make the environment safer and healthier for all.
Try a compostable mask today! They are available in the FMC doc's lounge along with a QR code linked to a survey to provide feedback on the product and sustainability initiative.
This initiative is supported by the FMC MSA Physician Engagement Grants.
