Mr. Zacharyasz previously served as the sustainability program manager at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. 

“Kevin will lead our sustainability efforts globally to support healthcare organizations seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and become resilient to the impacts of climate change,” The Joint Commission said. 

The appointment comes as health systems invest more resources into sustainability projects in an effort to reduce carbon emissions, drive cost savings and engage the workforce. 

At Becker's 4th Annual CEO + CFO Roundtable, taking place November 2–5 in Chicago, more than 1,500 hospital and health system executives tackle decisions that determine whether organizations thrive or merely survive: protecting margins under cost pressure, choosing where to grow, renegotiating payer relationships, stabilizing the workforce and proving real ROI on technology.
