Compass Oncology's East Cancer Center earned GBS Silver credit through a range of sustainability and wellness-focused features: * Energy and performance: High-efficiency HVAC systems and STAR appliances * Air Quality & Health: Enhanced air filtration supporting an indoor environment * Water Stewardship: Water-efficient plumbing fixtures that conserve resources * Materials & Carbon Impact: Adaptive reuse strategies that embodied carbon * Wellness & Experience: Bike racks and a thoughtfully designed garden that support employee well-being "At McKesson, we believe advancing health outcomes includes a commitment to creating healthier environments for the people and communities we serve, said Nimesh Jhaveri, R.Ph., Executive Vice President and Chief Impact Officer at McKesson. "Compass Oncology's achievement is an important milestone, not only as the first medical building to earn Green Building Standards certification, but also as a powerful example of how sustainability can be integrated into healthcare settings."
