Several support industries and vocations are involved in the Cedar Rapids medical industry, such as pharmacies, emergency responders, and medical waste disposal service providers. Everyone works together, sharing experience and information for everyone’s benefit.

Medical waste is also called biomedical waste and biohazardous waste – it may include discarded biologic product such as blood or tissue removed from operating rooms, morgues, laboratories or other medical facilities. The term may also be applied to bedding, bandages, syringes, and similar materials that have been used in treating patients and to animal carcasses or body parts used in research. Medical waste is regulated at the federal, state and local levels.

In Iowa the Department of Natural Resources regulates all hazardous waste, and information from the DNR may be found at their website.

MedPro operates in 44 states, including Iowa, and we have grown rapidly since our first year in business, 2009. Some reasons we have become popular in the healthcare industry is because we listen to our customers and respond with solution-based innovations. The MedPro Advantage is a bundle of benefits and services that set us apart from the other service providers, and a few of them are:

The MedPro Online Safety Compliance Portal – This is a substantial repository of training modules, reference information, and planning tools that customers tell us saves them time and money. Healthcare professionals are able to study and certify in OSHA-required training, and draft safety plans for fire-prevention, exposure control, and emergency preparedness. The platform also allows customers to study local, state, and federal regulations and access a conversion tool for the ICD9 to ICD10 transition.

Right-Sized Service Plans – MedPro listens to our customers from the start, assessing their average medical waste output and the number and frequency of pick-ups. There is certainly no reason to pay for a pick-up that is unnecessary and MedPro won’t charge for one.
