Hospital Curtain Solutions Launches New 'Green' Website

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 08, 2009 – In the United States today, the construction industry accounts for approximately one-third of all energy, water and materials consumption and generates similar proportions of pollution. Through its new online presence, Hospital Curtain Solutions has taken on the task of changing the way we build and renovate healthcare facilities, while still keeping a keen focus on both patient care, and cutting edge design.

Depending on a healthcare facility’s choice of cubicle curtain fabrics, the air quality of today's patient room can actually be improved, benefiting not only the patient, but the staff who care for them. LEED and GreenGuard certified cubicle curtain fabrics no longer receive the toxic finishes that exist on some hospital privacy curtain textiles and silver threads woven into bioactive cubicle curtains kill pathogens naturally, without treating them with chemical bactericides. The new Hospital Curtain Solutions site (http://www.hospitalcurtainsolutions.com) is designed to provide a quick and easy portal for hospitals, medical clinics, assisted living residences and home healthcare providers, to purchase these more eco-conscious products, from hospital curtains to recyclable cubicle curtain track and hardware.

Karen Serio, President and Owner of Hospital Curtain Solutions, said, "I'm proud to offer the healthcare community at large a new resource that allows everyone, from home healthcare provider to medical center environmental services director, to purchase the latest green innovations in the hospital cubicle curtain industry. The amount of positive feedback we have already received on the site gives me great hope that we are meeting both the patient privacy needs of the healthcare community and the long run sustainability of our planet. The Green movement has always been a passion of mine. I can't tell you how rewarding it is to mix that passion with the work that I enjoy."

Hospital Curtain Solutions believes that providing a healthy and clean environment for patient care is every healthcare facility’s responsibility. The management staff at Hospital Curtain Solutions, Inc. has over a quarter century of experience in the hospital interiors industry and, as a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, is proud to be a part of the green movement in healthcare.
