LEED Certification

Facilities directors are leading the way as their organizations look to improve energy and operating efficiency, reduce their environmental impact and create a physical environment that supports their patient-care.  The LEED program provides an effective framework to improve the performance of new and existing hospital buildings and contribute to the mission effectiveness of the organizations and individuals who occupy them.

LEED for Healthcare recognizes that healthcare facilities need to create and maintain a physical environment that supports the quality of care objectives and contributes to positive patient outcomes.  The program covers inpatient, outpatient and long-term care faciliities as well as medical office buildings, labs and other healthcare facilities.  Click here to read more about the LEED certification program, and how it can benefit you and your facility.
