ACC Recycling
Open Map Address Phone map No address specified. No ph# specified. “Green purchasing” means buying smart.
Everything you buy affects the environment, but some choices are better than others. Shop with the environment in mind – that is, buy products that help conserve natural resources, save energy, and prevent waste. Green purchasing can also mean not buying things you don’t need. By educating yourself about the products you buy, you can make a difference in protecting the environment. Green purchasing involves learning about all the ways that a product can affect the environment during the course of its “life cycle” – from the material used to manufacture it, to how you use it, to what you do with it when you’re finished with it. *
“Buying Recycled” vocabulary
“Post-Consumer Recycled Content” means the item contains material that has been recycled after being used by consumers and businesses.
“Pre-Consumer Recycled Content” means the item contains “waste” materials (recyclables) generated during the manufacturing process.
“Recycled“ vs. “Recyclable” a recycled product is one made out of recycled materials. A recyclable product is one that may be able to be recycled our community.

Athens Regional Medical Center
Open Map Address Phone map 1199 Prince Ave.
Athens, GA 30601706-475-7000 ARMC Expands to Meet the Healthcare Needs of Our Community
After only 18 months of construction, Phase I of the highly anticipated East Tower Expansion project is now complete! Twenty state-of-the-art treatment spaces are available in the new Emergency Department (ED). Each room features a universal design promoting a more efficient, error-free treatment environment and includes a private bathroom.
Another highlight of the project is the streamlining of Outpatient Radiology registration and treatment. A patient registration area within the new East Tower improves wait times and creates a more convenient experience for patients.
Coinciding with the East Tower opening is the transition and renaming of the Express Care unit. Express Care will now be referred to as POD-E and will be located in the basement of the East Tower. Patients arriving to the hospital with injuries and illnesses like sprains, ear aches and other non-life threatening situations will be triaged in the main ED on the first floor before being directed to the basement.
Last, but certainly not least, the new underground parking structure on Prince Avenue is now open. The 295-space underground deck serves as the primary parking location for ED patients and Radiology outpatients.
Phase 2 of our expansion has now begun and will include dedicated CT Scanner, X-Ray, trauma, resuscitation rooms and additional private family consultation rooms in the ED; enlarged and redesigned Family Care/Post-Partum rooms; two additional nurseries in the Family Care Unit and more room for dads and families in a home-like environment.
More room for patients, expanded services, same passion for medical excellence.
