Hospitals power through federal setbacks with cost-saving energy projects
Essential hospitals are finding cost-effective clean energy solutions despite federal funding cuts and increasing extreme weather events. Practice Greenhealth partners Grady Memorial Hospital, Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital, and Jackson South Medical Center demonstrate this forward-thinking approach.
Through strategic audits and partnerships, these hospitals identified transformative energy efficiency opportunities, including onsite energy generation, heat recovery systems, and renewable energy installations.
The financial impact is significant. Practice Greenhealth data reveals hospitals investing in energy efficiency and infrastructure upgrades saved over $154 million in 2023 and $203 million in 2024 – a 15% increase.
Facing rising costs, extreme weather, and pressure to deliver life-saving care, these three hospitals recognized that every dollar wasted on inefficient energy systems means less money for patient care. Their proven blueprint offers a roadmap for essential hospitals to build resilience against future challenges.
