In addition Dave Monahan of Grodsky Services, Inc will be giving a short presentation on Benchmarking Healthcare Facilities: Reducing Energy Costs by 5-30% through their Energy Services Program.

There is no cost for this program but we ask that you register so that we know how many attendees to expect.

Attendees should park in the parking lot which is in front of the hospital.  If possible, enter through the middle entrance which says, "Medical Offices (on the overhang) and "James Rybeck Medical Office Building" which is on the building.  At this entrance, proceed to the elevator and take it to the 2nd floor.  Off the elevator, take a left and then take a right and the conference room will be the first door on the right.

Note:  Avoid using the "main entrance" as this is a farther walk
