The symposium will bring together healthcare managers, clinicians, and facilities and operations staff to discuss how to reduce the environmental impact of operating rooms, which frequently use more resources and energy than any other part of the hospital.

This year’s GOR Symposium will feature healthcare staff and facilities that push the boundaries of sustainability and have made considerable changes to their operations to reduce their environmental impact  and reap financial benefits.

Practice Greenhealth is holding this event at the ASCE Bechtel Conference Center in the Weston Reston (Va.) Heights Hotel.
