Medical Waste Disposal Leawood, KS

Medical Waste Disposal Leawood, KS

Leawood is Included in the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan Area, and is served by MedPro Waste Disposal.

The American Academy of Family Physicians is headquartered in Leawood, a city of about 32,000 people which is served by the Kansas University Medical Center and St. Joseph’s Hospital.

Large medical centers, small hospitals, clinics, and doctor’s offices in and around Leawood all have one common by-product: medical waste.

Medical waste is also called biomedical waste and infectious waste and may be solid or liquid. Examples of infectious waste include discarded blood, sharps, unwanted microbiological cultures and stocks, other human or animal tissue, used bandages and dressings, discarded gloves, other medical supplies that may have been in contact with blood and body fluids.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment oversees medical waste collection, transportation, and disposal of all hazardous waste, and there are definitions, policies, and other important facts and information at their website.

Doctors and medical administrators in Leawood have several choices in their selection of a medical waste disposal service provider, but more and more are choosing MedPro because of our resources, our reputation for reliable service, our training portal, and our low prices. We call these benefits the MedPro Advantage:

Training: MedPro has created a benefit for customers that exceeds anything available in the industry: The MedPro Online Compliance Portal. This is a platform accessed through our website with capability for required training on OSHA, HIPPA, HazCom as well as MSDS/SDS and online safety audits. Safety plans for fire prevention, exposure control, and emergency preparedness are downloadable and can be stored safely on the cloud-based platform.

Low Prices: MedPro creates a “right-sized” and unique pick-up plan for every customer based on needs, while following safety protocols. We also work to congregate pick-ups in the same geographic area and on the same days so there is less fuel used, which saves money. We take those saving and pass them on to our customers because it is common sense and best for building long-term relationships.

Paperwork reduction: MedPro has instituted a one-flat-fee system for customers across the board. Doctors and medical administrators asked for this and we complied. A MedPro invoice will never contain any surprise fees or fuel surcharges. One flat fee is our promise.

Compliance: Safety for healthcare workers and the public is priority number one at MedPro. We have earned an excellent reputation for safety from coast-to-coast because we are 100% compliant with all safety guidelines and follow regulations.

Support Material: MedPro listened to our customers when they asked for printed material related to safe handling of medical waste, especially sharps. We are happy to provide posters to our customers reminding personnel of safety tips. What goes in the red bag, and what doesn’t? We have material to remind the staff of this information which can save money.

Other Programs: MedPro knows that doctors would like to have mail-back programs available as well as old prescription disposal capabilities. Patients should be discouraged from flushing drugs down the drain. MedPro can dispose of these items properly.

Risk Reduction: MedPro feels compelled to carry insurance in excess of what is required because peace-of-mind is a very valuable benefit. Our customers focus on treatment, health, patients, prescriptions, and a host of other issues. MedPro focuses on medical waste. If there ever an incident or accident, that’s the reason for insurance.

The Leawood healthcare community faces the same challenges as those in every city from coast-to-coast. More regulations, tighter budgets, and increased paperwork cause more stress and make it more difficult to focus on patients. MedPro understands these challenges, which is why we make it easy to work with us.
