Imagine
Grinnell, a community improvement foundation, has made a grant to Grinnell
Regional Medical Center to upgrade GRMC’s lighting to be more energy-efficient.
New LED light fixtures in the main first floor east-west hallway in the
hospital and in the glass tower of the Ahrens Medical Arts Building were paid
for through this $5,000 grant.
“We
are truly grateful for this grant from Imagine Grinnell,” says Mark Doll,
director of facilities management at GRMC. “Over the years, we have made energy
efficiency a priority through many projects. Any cost savings we can achieve
overall helps GRMC keep our healthcare costs low.”
It’s
a very public showcase of the latest in energy efficient commercial lighting. Imagine
Grinnell board members want business owners and members of the public to see
the quality of the lighting used at GRMC as a way of encouraging the use of
these fixtures in other locations.
“Imagine
Grinnell is proud to be a community partner with Grinnell Regional Medical
Center,” says Sarah Smith, Imagine Grinnell executive director. “We are pleased
with this investment in helping GRMC reach greater energy efficiency while also
making it a bit of a showcase for other businesses.”
Since 1985 Imagine Grinnell has been a
catalyst for change in Grinnell. Their mission is to improve the quality of
life in Grinnell while complementing economic development efforts and promoting
a healthy environment. Imagine Grinnell uses its non-profit status and the
strength of the Grinnell community to harness donations, government and private
grants, and volunteers for a wide variety of community projects.
