Gail Vittori: Sustainable Healthcare

In partnership with Ascension Health and IIDA

We are excited to welcome Gail Vittori, co-director of the Center for Maximum Performance Building Systems, as our May program speaker. Recognized as one of "Twenty Who Are Making A Difference in Healthcare" in Healthcare Design Magazine, Gail has been a catalyst for several national initiatives focused on greening the health care sector and advancing environmental health considerations in green building since the year 2000. During this presentation, Gail will:

• Identify trends in sustainable healthcare design globally based on a survey of 55 hospitals and healthcare facilities from around the world.
• Describe challenges facing the global healthcare community to respond to pressing issues of climate change, global toxification, water deficits, and public health in the context of healing environments.
• Provide in-depth assessment of best global practices to reduce energy use and potable water use intensity.
  
• Describe the role and opportunity of evolving rating systems globally to appropriately guide the continuum of healthcare building design, construction and operations.
