Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital (Downers Grove, Ill.). Another Practice Greenhealth Top 25 Environmental Excellence Award honoree, Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital was recognized with three Circles of Excellence awards in 2015 for its work in leadership, reducing waste and reducing chemicals. Good Samaritan is currently working on a modernization project that will add three stories over the West Pavilion of the existing structure.
