experience. One often overlooked

opportunity is sustainability. Making an

active commitment to sustainability and aggressively pursuing

goals provides multiple strategic benefits that can help healthcare

facilities thrive.

The FHEA & FHA are committed to supporting members to launch

or improve their sustainability programs. Learn more about this

initiative by attending the FHEA Spring Meeting. The program will
