HCA Healthcare Sustainability Plan

Our collaboration with HCA Healthcare centered on integrating sustainable building practices into their operations, enhancing their facilities' environmental performance. The project included detailed waste management strategies, the use of low-emitting materials, and high-efficiency equipment upgrades.

We developed construction specifications that established sustainability standards across HCA's building portfolio. These specifications mandated a 95% recycling rate for all construction and demolition waste—a requirement now successfully implemented nationwide across HCA facilities.

Key initiatives such as the implementation of a Pollution Prevention Plan and Construction Waste Management strategies were integral. We also focused on material reuse and recycling content throughout the construction process, which not only minimized the ecological footprint but also optimized resource efficiency.

These measures helped reduce HCA's operational costs, lowered waste production, and improved indoor environmental quality, setting a new standard for sustainability in healthcare facilities. The success of these initiatives at HCA Healthcare serves as a benchmark for environmental sustainability in the healthcare industry, demonstrating that high-performing, green healthcare facilities can significantly impact patient recovery and staff productivity.
