Hospitals Going Green: Part II
Friday, April 8, 2011 | 9:00am – 3:00pm
Waltham Woods Conference Center | Waltham, MA
Major Event Sponsor: MorrisSwitzer ~ Environments for Health
Exhibitors: Levi+Wong Design Associates, Inc., VHB/Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc.
While large-scale construction projects have slowed down, hospitals continue to improve their facilities in many ways. The “green” movement is sweeping industries across America- healthcare is no exception. Aside from simply needing to comply with new legal and regulatory requirements, hospitals are taking the lead in innovation in areas such as energy, waste reduction, materials, and food. Environmental issues are requirements of the Joint Commission, but for patient-centered care reasons, hospitals are creating more aesthetically-pleasing environments of care. We’ll take a look at some of these innovations. This year’s annual conference will look at how these initiatives are good for both patients and the bottom line, and will also highlight some exciting new possibilities for the near future.
** Note from MHA: We are still seeking ideas- If your hospital or organization is working on any interesting “green” projects, please let us know so that we can consider them as content for this conference. Sponsorships are still available as well.
