Ascent: A Stryker Sustainability Solution leads the medical device industry’s development of more sustainable and responsible solutions in healthcare. Reprocessing and remanufacturing medical devices are the single most impactful sustainability initiatives currently undertaken by hospitals in the U.S. Our reprocessing and remanufacturing programs allow our partner hospitals to divert thousands of pounds of medical waste from landfills and to redirect substantial financial resources to patient care quality initiatives. Providing the means for both patient care quality and environmental benefit with no loss of safety or quality, Ascent works with all leading national group purchasing organizations as well as numerous nationally recognized hospital integrated delivery networks, including most of U.S. News and World Report’s "Honor Roll" hospitals.
