Core values

- **Sustainability and Environmental Impact**: The project significantly reduces carbon emissions, lowers pollution, and improves air quality through innovative measures like geothermal heating and on-site solar energy production. This reduces the environmental footprint and contributes to climate change mitigation[1].
- **Community Health and Well-being**: The center is designed to improve mental health outcomes, reduce patient anxiety and stress through access to natural light and outdoor spaces, and provides a green and welcoming environment for patients, staff, and visitors[1].
- **Economic Benefits**: The sustainability efforts have resulted in substantial cost savings, estimated at $8 million per year, which can be reallocated to patient care, equivalent to $3 billion of care over 20 years[1].
- **Social Justice and Equity**: The project addresses environmental justice issues by serving a disadvantaged community disproportionately affected by climate change, providing essential health services and improving the quality of life for marginalized populations[1].
