SAN DIEGO, CA, October 15, 2010 (Press-News.org) Construction Digital, the top digital media source for global construction news and information reveals the benefits of green hospitals in the redesigned October issue.
We spoke with Jeffrey Rich of Gundersen Lutheran to learn the benefits of sustainable health care facilities. "We have a duty to be good stewards of how we use energy, and try to produce or use clean energy," he says in the article. With the support of innovative leadership, Gundersen Lutheran launched the Envision program in 2007 to streamline energy, waste and recycling efforts and explore sustainable design. Out of this program sparked an aggressive environmental strategy to become completely energy-independent by 2014.
We also spoke with Phil Williams, vice president of sustainability and technical systems for Webcor, the builder responsible for the new San Francisco General Hospital. Though the city requires all of its new buildings to meet the requirements for LEED Silver, the project team intends to seek LEED gold when the facility is completed. The hospital will tout several green features including natural ventilation, rainwater reclamation and low-VOC products.

Brooklyn Medical Malpractice Lawyers, Reibman & Weiner, Fight For Clients With Cerebral Palsy
2010-10-15
Medical malpractice can be devastating for the families involved. As Americans, we have been raised to trust our doctor's from an early age. During routine pediatrician visits as children, we learn to trust them while they give us shots or check our health. Despite the many honest, intelligent and expert doctors available, we often forget that they are as a human as we are. They are infallible too. So, when malpractice practice occurs, the shock and heartache can be especially high. Luckily, malpractice allows many victims to recover for their pain and suffering.
