NEHES Monthly Digest

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR), Technical Resources, Assistance Center, and Information Exchange (TRACIE) and Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), Office of Climate Change and Health Equity (OCCHE) invite you to join this webinar on healthcare facility resilience and mitigation. Speakers from New York University Langone Health and Mass General Brigham—who have used resilient and sustainable building designs to ensure their facilities can effectively withstand unexpected and severe weather events—will share their experiences, and OCCHE staff will highlight related efforts and priorities in building climate-resilient healthcare facilities.

To assist with education planning, the New England Healthcare Engineers' Society is soliciting abstracts for presentations at the 2024 Fall Conference, taking place Sept. 22-25 in Stowe, Vermont. Abstracts must be submitted through this web form.

 

We ask that all abstracts support the conference theme: "Innovation and Capital Revitalization: Thinking Outside the Box." Each abstract submission should include four specific learning objectives to help identify what attendees will be able to apply in their workplace following your session.

 

While we are open to all proposals, topics of interest include construction project management, value engineering, creative staffing, ICRA 2.0, working with the C-suite, ASHRAE, and codes/standards – NFPA/DNV/TJC.

 

The deadline to submit your abstract is June 14. Selected presenters will be notified by July 3.
