Environmental

Through data monitoring and strategic capital planning, we drive improved portfolio performance. Reducing utility costs – one of our largest operating expenses – has a significant impact on our sustainability practices. In turn, our tenants, health system partners, and shareholders benefit from cost savings and improved portfolio performance.
