MD Anderson Case Study: Enabling Remote Workflows
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is the largest cancer treatment center in the United States and ranks number 1 in cancer care by U.S. News and World Report. The askMDAnderson service was established to provide answers, resources, and expertise to people with a cancer diagnosis, but when a pandemic was declared in March 2020, all non-direct patient care personnel were required to work remotely.

Amtelco Gets Its First Trex Bench
We recently concluded a six-month period of collecting eligible plastic bags, films, wraps, etc. for the Trex Company's Recycle Beyond the Bag program. We were shy of our 500 lb. goal, but thanks to a very generous donation of 300 lbs. from Bruce Voight and the McFarland Lions Club, we were able to exceed our goal and earn a Trex® bench made from the recycled materials!
The McFarland Lions Club had far exceeded its plastic collection goal with help from the community and gave us the excess weight so we could get our bench! We have already begun collecting for the next six-month period, and we have a solid head start for our upcoming 500 lb. goal. This program is a great way to assist in ending plastic pollution and help our planet.
