We asked our employees 3 questions for their birthday this year to get to know them better:

1. What’s one goal you hope to achieve in 2025?  My goal is to just live with simplicity, and focus on things that truly matter, appreciate experiences and relationships over material things, quality over quantity.

1. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?  I would love to go to Iceland, the natural landscape draws me to it. I would love to see the glaciers, volcanoes, waterfalls, and black sand beaches.

1. What’s your favorite part of working at Z&Z Medical?  I just love the people that I work with, we have such a positive and supportive team, and we can share laughs and have great conversations! Just a great group to be a part of.

November 15 is America Recycles Day, a time to reflect on the importance of proper recycling and responsible disposal of materials — including items often overlooked in healthcare: lead aprons.

Lead aprons provide vital protection, but improper disposal can pose serious environmental and health risks. Lead is toxic, and aprons should never be left lying around or thrown in the trash when no longer in use. At Z&Z Medical, we offer a recycling service for aprons (fees apply) to ensure they are handled safely and responsibly.

Why This Matters

• Lead is toxic: Improperly discarded aprons can contaminate soil and water.
• Environmental Responsibility: Recycling helps keep hazardous materials out of landfills and contributes to a healthier planet.

At Z&Z Medical, we are committed to both healthcare safety and environmental responsibility. If your aprons are old, damaged, or no longer used, don’t let them sit around — recycle them responsibly. For more information about our apron recycling program or to explore lead-free replacement aprons, email us at: info@zzmedical.com.
