FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MIDDLEBURY ANIMAL HOSPITAL CONTINUES GREEN REVOLUTION

Middlebury, CT – Middlebury Animal Hospital recently completed installation of a digital radiography (x-ray) system. This system allows us to stop using dozens of gallons of film developing chemicals every year and eliminate the associated hazardous waste disposal and related environmental impacts. This system allows for better patient care by decreasing x-ray exposures during each picture. In addition, since the computer images can be corrected and enhanced, there is a decreased requirement for frequent retakes. Finally, since there is no physical film involved, we have much faster access to reviews by radiologists by simply uploading the images via the internet rather than physically mailing them out. The lack of film also solves the storage issues and disposal of used x-ray film concerns.

We would also like to announce that to date we have been able to generate 23 megawatt hours of clean solar power electricity on the roof of our animal hospital.

We would strongly encourage other businesses and individuals to investigate the benefits and feasibility of generating clean energy and minimizing environmental impact at their businesses and homes.
