To green or not to green, that is the question

"Healthcare facility managers and administrators across the country are asking themselves whether it is prudent to spend money to create sustainable healing environments. Would building healthcare institutions without the tenets of green building be a disservice to those who are treated in such a building and to those who are treating them? Does building green set the institution apart from non-green facilities?

There exists no building type better suited to sustainable design and construction than that of healthcare. These facilities are operated 24 hours a day 7 days a week, caring for folks who often have compromised immune systems. The staff often operates in these facilities for periods of time well beyond the normal eight work day. Further, like no other building type, hospitals are cleaned and maintained during normal business hours and as such involve working within patient and staff boundaries. This fact alone adds significantly to the environmental burden of a healthcare facility.

Designing, constructing and operating hospitals in a sustainable manner provides better patient outcomes, lower usage of pain medications and reduced length of stay for patients. For staff, it increases productivity, staff retention and helps with recruiting efforts. As an added bonus, energy usage is generally reduced while maintaining ventilation rates at or in excess of code. Considering hospitals are second only to food service in their use of energy, significant monetary saving are possible.

Maybe the question should be not be whether hospitals should be green, the better question is should they be green, silver, gold or platinum?

When: POSTPONED - Getting Business with Public Agencies
New Date - APRIL 7TH 8 - 10 AM
Where: Milleridge Inn, 585 North Broadway, Jericho, NY 11753
Cost: $30 for SMPS, IABC & USGBC members, $65 for non-members

In anticipation of the snowstorm that hit our area, the Board of Directors of SMPS-LI postponed our program, "Getting Business with Public Agencies," scheduled for February 10th, to Wednesday, April 7th. The program will still take place from 8 am to 10 am at the Milleridge Inn.

These are tough economic times. The rules are changing. As the private sector reduces their project workload, the competition for public work gets more intense.  Firms that never responded to public RFPs are now in the game. Join us on February 10 where you will hear from several public sector leaders to learn what is on the horizon for the Long Island market in 2010 and how you can get a share of this work. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about project management/procurement procedures, projects that are currently in place, anticipated projects, how to do business, etc.

Our speakers will be:
Gilbert Anderson, P.E., Commissioner - Suffolk County Department of Public Works
Ashley Cohen, Regional Recovery Executive Office of the Regional Commissioner - General Services Administration
Wayne Ugolik, Program and Planning Manager - NYSDOT Region 10
Cynthia Carter, Deputy Chief Contracts Officer, Long Island Rail Road

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this change has caused you. We look forward to seeing you at this and other programs.

Program descriptions and registration information will be updated accordingly. Stay Tuned!

Marketing Tools Series

Our professional development programs are supplemented again this year with the continuation of our Marketing Tools Series, where marketers gather to get back to basics in three specific areas, including Document Management, Business Writing Basics, and Social Networking. These informal and inexpensive sessions (free for members!) are low-key, low-tech, and easy to absorb to help marketers in the trenches with basic tactics.

• April 14, 2010 5:30-7:30 PM
  Site Walk-Through— What Marketers Need To Know
  Where: St. Anthony's High School, South Huntington, NY
  Leader: Anthony Musumeci, Chief Marketing Officer, Emtec Engineers 
  
  Why should a marketer attend a site visit for a proposed project? What pictures should you take? What questions should you ask? What should you be looking for? How can a site walk-through make you a more effective marketer? This small-group workshop will show you how this is a teaming opportunity, especially when your firm is a sub-consultant. The event will be held at an actual site—either one that is about to be renovated or one that has recently been renovated— on Long Island. You will be given general specs for an RFP, and can role play your way through this exercise.

  June 17, 6 pm - 8 pm: Social Networking Part II
