From the modern version:
“I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.”
Hippocratic Oath

The design and operation of health care buildings is highly regulated with intense economic and life safety oversight
Health care facilities are often multiple building campuses of varying ages, conditions, systems
24/7 operations with patients in place require intensive coordination and redundancy of all services at all times.
Long ownership mean owners realize life cycle implications of their construction choices.

Construction frequently occurs within or adjacent to occupied buildings (where health is fragile, or steadiness of hand required)
overviewconstruction attributes
Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) protocols to minimize the impacts of construction on occupants demonstrate leadership to the wider sustainable building industry
Healthcare construction managers can evolve a rigorous, sustainable set of practices for the healthcare industry that may inform wider construction practice

1998 American Hospital Association & U.S. EPA Memorandum of Understanding
1 Virtual elimination of mercury-containing waste from healthcare facilities waste streams by 2005;
2 Reduce total waste volume by 33% by 2005, and by 50% by 2010;
3 Identify hazardous substances for pollution prevention and waste reduction opportunities, including hazardous chemicals & persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic pollutants.

Hospitals for a Healthy Environment (H2E)(now forming part of Practice Greenhealth)
Founded in 1998, H2E is a voluntary program that educates health care professionals about pollution prevention opportunities in hospitals & healthcare systems, noting environmental & public health benefits in addition to reducing costs associated with waste disposal.
Successes to Date97% of hospitalshave implemented mercury reduction/ elimination programs
72% of hospitalshave inventoried and replaced mercury-containing devices
80% of hospitalshave implemented a waste reduction policy for all waste types

Chapter 1.2 Chapter 1.2 Environment of CareEnvironment of Care “…the built environment has a profound effect on health, productivity, and the natural environment…”
Recognizes health care’s primary mission to “first, do no harm” - and enhanced patient environment, employee effectiveness, and resource stewardship.

• Void in the marketplace of health care specific green building tool
• Core content transfer from existing tools (e.g., LEED®) but need to tailor for healthcare
• Explicit health-based focus
• Sensitivity to an over-regulated sector voluntary best practices
with no certification thresholds
• Reinforces integrated design as essential
• Bridges design & construction with operational considerations

LEED for Healthcare Mission Statement
LEED for Healthcare supports sustainable planning, design, and construction of healthcare facilities by adapting the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® to respond to the unique set of opportunities and challenges presented by the healthcare sector.
By affirming healthcare’s fundamental mission of “…first, do no harm”, LEED for Healthcare recognizes the
profound impact of the built environment on the health of occupants, local communities, and global ecology and encourages design strategies that enhance the healing environment for patients, healthy and productive work
environments for staff, and responsible ecological stewardship.”
