Awards for health care workers & students

Honoring on-the-ground sustainability work

Health care workers have a unique opportunity to advance health care sustainability and influence policies to protect the health of people in hospitals and the broader community. Each year we recognize exemplary individuals doing this work. 


The Stephanie Davis Waste Reduction and Pollution Prevention Award and Scholarship

The Stephanie Davis Waste Reduction and Pollution Prevention Award and Scholarship is an enduring tribute to Davis, who worked with Health Care Without Harm at its inception in 1996. Davis was a tireless champion of the movement toward sustainable health care who worked to reduce waste and eliminate the use of harmful chemicals and materials in health care products and processes.

This annual award recognizes health care workers or students who are passionate about waste reduction and pollution prevention in the health care sector and would benefit from the scholarship to further their work.
