Bicycle Friendly Business

Providence St. Peter Hospital | Bronze Level

Business Highlights: Providence St. Peter Hospital is invested in making their community healthier and a big part of their investment is encouraging bicycling in the workplace for employees and visitors. There is ample secure and covered bike parkinge parking, showers, Capital Bike Club membership, and free lattes for commuter month. There is always time committed during the New Employee Organization to promote cycling so that all incoming employees know the hospital is serious about maintaining one's health and the environment through bicycling.

Benefits of Being a Bicycle Friendly Business: The health benefits and reduced parking are the biggest benefits to bike commuting, not to mention a smaller carbon footprint. They are working to reduce the vehicle miles driven to and from the hospital. "Being a BFB provides a positive image for the hospital in the community and helps attract and retain cycling oriented staff (including Physicians)." - Keith Edgerton, Sustainability Coordinator
