Let's Talk About Washington, DC

Washington, DC, or The District of Columbia, is the capital of The United States, and home to the White House and American politics. Washington, DC was founded at the end of the American Revolution. It was given the name Washington after the first American President and founding father of the United States: George Washington. Washington is neither a state, nor located within one. Instead, it’s actually a federal district created specifically to be a seat of government. It is home to all 3 branches of American government since 1800, including the Congress (legislative), the President (executive) and the Supreme Court (judicial). 

 

In addition to politics, Washington is also renowned for its memorials, research centers and museums including The Smithsonian Institution, which has a total of 19 museums, 9 research centers and The National Zoo. At the American History Museum you can see the original score to the Star Spangled Banner or Dorothy’s ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz, while the Natural History Museum is custodian of the 45-carat Hope Diamond and the Dom Pedro Aquamarine weighing in at 10,363 carats.

 

In addition to its museums, DC is home to some of the country’s most famous monuments including The Lincoln Memorial, Capitol Hill and Arlington National Cemetery, where millions of people flock each year to pay their respects to the Tomb of the Unknown Solider and JFK. Other popular spots include the Washington Monument, Mount Vernon, the Pentagon and FBI buildings and Teddy Roosevelt Island, a nature lover’s paradise of natural forest and trails dedicated to the memory of the 26th president.

 

With a bustling population, regular influx of tourists and important political residents, it’s no wonder that Washington takes their healthcare system seriously. In Washington, Medicaid is called Apple Health and focuses on preventative healthcare, such as cancer screenings, high blood pressure treatment and prediabetes intervention. This proactive approach however does not diminish the volume of medical and biohazardous waste that is produced by the district each year. That’s why so many healthcare facilities and operators in Washington rely on us at Daniels Health, to manage all of their waste streams: from cradle to grave.
