Parkland Memorial Hospital’s Main Campus has set a benchmark in environmental sustainability by becoming the first to achieve Gold Certification under Dallas’s Green Business Certification Program (GBC). This prestigious recognition, the second-highest possible, is reserved for establishments that remarkably surpass green standards, contributing significantly to community excellence.
Since its inception in 2015, the new Parkland Memorial Hospital has been a forerunner in sustainable initiatives, earning the LEED® Gold Certification for its new construction. LEED® Certification is a testament to a building’s sustainability, efficiency, and design quality. The hospital’s commitment to eco-friendly practices extends to its three clinics and the Tower Garage at the Main Campus, all of which have also achieved LEED Certification.
Parkland’s dedication to sustainability is a testament to its commitment to patient care and community welfare in Dallas. The hospital excelled in various categories on the GBC sustainability scorecard, securing perfect scores in building efficiency and air quality, nearly perfect scores in transportation and solid waste management, and high scores in leadership and policy.
