The nonprofit Clean Air Carolina recently gave Novant Health, along with two construction companies, one of its Air Keeper’s awards. 

At Novant’s urging, Rodgers Leeper and Vannoy Construction limited use of older diesel-powered equipment during construction at Novant’s Matthews and Mint Hill properties.
