Great prod Annie Chiang that sustainability and resilience should be considered in tandem and needn't be thought to be in constant opposition to each other. If done well, they can be synergistic as you illustrate with the Central Valley project example!

Two fantastic articles by Annie Chiang (part 2) and Greg Heppner, AIA NCARB (part 1) on the resilience of our healthcare infrastructure. Both really insightful and full of practical advice for healthcare facility leaders. "Any health organization can take foundational steps to improve the resilience of its buildings and infrastructure, whether renovating or constructing new." #designabetterfuture #healthcaredesign #sustainability #climateresilience

Energy audits and benchmarking are crucial for Community Health Centers. They lead to cost savings, reduced environmental impact, and improved patient experiences. Start with benchmarking, conduct an energy audit, create an action plan, implement efficiency measures, monitor performance, and engage stakeholders. Following these steps, health centers can achieve financial savings and sustainability while providing quality and affordable healthcare. 🌿🏥 Discover more about benchmarking and energy audits here: https://lnkd.in/e-jphabf #Healthcare #Sustainability #EnergyEfficiency #CommunityHealthCenters
