And then there's "brass" which is actually a thin coat of vapor deposited zirconium nitride. Looks exactly like brass, but doesn't tarnish and isn't antimicrobial.

Both with brass and copper, the biggest cost for a hospital is probably the time spent cleaning them (as in Brasso). Still likely worth it.
