Introduction

Hospitals and health systems across the globe are looking towards environmental sustainability. However, in a tumultuous economic environment, it can be challenging to balance sustainability efforts with bottom-line necessities while operating under tight margins.

In this episode, guest host and Advisory Board's environmental sustainability expert Miles Cottier invites Bob Biggio, Senior Vice President of Facilities & Support Services at Boston Medical Center, to discuss long-term green financing strategies. Throughout the discussion, they explore Boston Medical Center's medical campus redesign, issuing of "Green Bonds," and their efforts balance sustainability with efficiency and cost-savings.
