Uniquely challenged with round-the-clock operations, hazardous waste management, and high energy demands, how can hospitals and other healthcare organizations deepen their commitment to sustainability? Moreover, how can healthcare leaders make the business case for doing so to their board and staff?

At an upcoming session hosted by the Western Florida Chapter of ACHE, Flad Principal Laura Stillman will moderate and speak at a panel event exploring exactly those questions. Joined by panelists Brad Pollitt (Vice President of Facilities, UF Health Shands Hospital) and Randy Keiser (SVP & National Healthcare Director, Turner Construction Company), the trio of experts will delve into topics including:

• Tested sustainable strategies specific to healthcare operations.
• Sustainability as part of the core mission of healthcare.
• Making the business case for deepening green commitments in terms of the bottom line, long-term ROI, staff retention, and increased community base.
• Industry-specific sustainability success stories.
