"AMFP CONVERSATIONS" SERIES

Our NYC chapter hosts this series of programs that is both topical and conversational. These meetings start with some networking, move into informal discussions with selective guests, and end with questions and answers between members and the speakers. Help us plan upcoming AMFP CONVERSATIONS by letting us know what issues you are facing in Healthcare Facilities.

This month's topic:

"The Roadmap to Net Zero"
Meeting the Standards for Resiliency and Sustainability on Healthcare Campuses

This Conversation will revisit the goals and objectives of LL97, how healthcare systems have been asked to respond through Health and Human Services and how NY has shaped policy elsewhere in the US. The conversation will include national and international perspectives and will review Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon reduction opportunities for healthcare end users. The panel will discuss how the capital delivery industry has responded with new means and methods, equipment, and material options all of which need to be evaluated through the lens of capital investment throughout a life cycle to understand the impact.
