VANCOUVER – PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center now offers four electric vehicle (EV) charging stations available to the community. The EV chargers are located in the North parking lot off of 87th Avenue, near the 5th St. entrance. The allocated spots are marked with pavement signage.
The project was funded through a partnership with the PeaceHealth Southwest Foundation and Clark County Public Utilities to support the medical center’s ongoing environmental stewardship efforts.
“The chargers are meant to give our staff and visitors a boost while they’re here on campus,” says Brian Nelson, Sustainability Programs Manager. “We established a cost structure that’s less expensive than most other chargers while trying to offer this service to as many people during the day.”
EV charging can be paid through the SemaConnect and Plugshare mobile applications or with a credit card. Revenue from the stations goes to the hospital’s sustainability budget for future green projects.
PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center is a certified green business and Clark County’s 2022 Green Business of the Year for large businesses, awarded by the Clark County Green Business Program. This accomplishment was earned as a result of responsible stewardship practices in various areas including waste management, recycling, water/energy use and community activities.
PeaceHealth Southwest’s commitment to sustainability has been recognized nationally with the 2022 Practice Greenhealth Partner for Change Award and the Practice Greenhealth Greening the OR (operating room) Recognition Award. Practice Greenhealth is the nation’s leading organization dedicated to environmental sustainability in health care.
