The Three Types of Teleconferences

H2E Environmental Program Series

The second Friday of each month, H2E’s Environmental Program Series focuses on a broad range of environmental and operational issues. A typical H2E Audioconference attracts between 100 and 400 sites with multiple participants at a site.

Topics this year include, for example:

• Greener Cleaners
• EPA Inspections
• Universal Waste Management
• Recycling 101
• Toxicity Reduction In Laboratories

The Green Building Series

The Green Building Series promotes green design, construction and integrated operations of health care facilities with an emphasis on the Green Guide for Health Care, a self-certifying toolkit designed to steer facilities through the process.

The health care sector is in the midst of a building boom, and health care organizations are making a significant shift from conventional building to more environmentally sound design and construction.

The Green Building Series’ audience includes members of the design and construction team: facility managers, architects, engineers, contractors and others. A typical session attracts up to 400 sites. Topics this year include:

• Energy Conservation Strategies
• Making the Business Case for Green Health Care
• Introduction to the Green Guide for Health Care
• Water Conservation Strategies

“Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) uses the H2E teleconferences as a “brown bag” forum in Boise and invites local hospitals, healthcare professionals and vendors to participate. The diversity and relevance of the teleconference topics and the quality of the presentations attract a steady audience. Not only is this a great way to disseminate the excellent information provided via the teleconferences, but this has also provided a successful networking forum in the area.” -- Liisa Itkonen, Sr. Environmental Projects/H2E Coordinator, Department of Environmental Quality

Core Programs Training Series

The Core Programs Training Series is a monthly call focused on H2E programs and resources. A typical training series tends to be small, intimate and more interactive with approximately 12-30 sites.

“Introduction to H2E” a guide to the tools and resources available through the H2E program for new Partner Facilities is held the third Friday of each month.
