 ription: While LEED for Healthcare may still be in the works\, come find o
 ut how the design team behind the VA Hospital at Fitzsimons is incorporati
 ng sustainability into their LEED Silver design\, and hear from the member
 s of the design team who produced the LEED Gold Medical Center of the Rock
 ies.\n\n	\n		Healthcare represents over 16% of U.S. GDP and hospitals alon
 e are the second-largest source of private sector jobs.\n	\n		Healthcare w
 ill generate 3.2 million new wage and salary jobs between 2008 and 2018\, 
 more than any other industry\, largely in response to rapid growth in the 
 elderly population.\n	\n		Reducing environmental toxins\, increasing natur
 al light\, and improving comfort overall can shorten patient recovery time
  and reduce costs associated with long hospital stays.\n	\n		On average\, 
 healthcare buildings are over twice as large as any other commercial build
 ing type.\n\nMonday\, August 2nd:\n\n	\n		My Brother's Bar Pre-Event Netwo
