Stephanie Garrison 4/16/2026 1:13 PMThese challenges serve as helpful reminders on ways to be less destructive to the environment throughout the workday and beyond. I also like that we're able to check in for prior days when the day gets too busy. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWork and OrganizationsWhat did you learn about sustainability efforts at Allina Health?
Stephanie Garrison 4/16/2026 1:12 PMI noticed Allina's extra efforts over the past 5 years to help mitigate negative environmental impacts in our buildings, teams, and in the OR. I recognized resources from our annual trainings on this page regarding our recycling policies and I saw the goals heading toward 2050 and the teams assembled to help steer those efforts. -

I took a minute to look for the closest fire extinguisher to me. I'm glad one of our safety people put this on my list. It's good to get a reminder! -

I am pleased that I found several new ways to reduce my own consumer footprint that can also connect me with people! I like getting food at the local co-op, but it will be much more fun to grow food in the community garden plot with neighbors. Finding secondhand goods on the internet reduces waste, but I can take a friend out to community garage sales. Online learning is great, but in person Community Ed and Fix It Clinics are opportunities to meet new friends. -
