Green Healthcare Circle

Welcome to the Green Healthcare Circle committee space where you can learn about our mission, join our online conversation, find details of our future events and meetings and access relevant resources.

Committee Mission
To address the needs of hospitals, healthcare institutions and the professionals who are responsible for planning, designing, constructing and operating them with green and sustainable goals. We work to advance and promote sustainable and environmentally responsible development, design, construction and operations in order to enhance the environment for healing and working in the region’s healthcare institutions and facilities.

Structure
The circle is composed of two parts:
1) A working committee of professionals in design, engineering, construction, consulting, and government with a strong interest and expertise in sustainable design, construction and operations (such as LEED projects);
2) An advisory council that reviews the working committee’s plans for educational events and activities to be sure they will address the needs of senior healthcare executives and decision makers.

Meetings
For the months of July and August we will meet on the 2nd Monday of the month, from 3:30 - 5:30 PM at One Penn Center, Suite 1145, Suburban Station, 1617 JFK BLVD., Philadelphia, PA.  For the months of September through December we will meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.  See the event tab above for a complete time table of our meetings.  Our next meeting is Monday, July 12, 2010.
