Conference's Multi-Faceted Offering Continues 22-year Tradition of Promoting Industry Innovation with In-Depth Look at Different Variables Impacting Facility Success and FunctionalityWhat: Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo Presented by JD Events (http://www.hcarefacilities.com/) Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo (HFSE), now in its 22nd year, is the original event that brings together the people who design, plan, construct and manage healthcare facilities. HFSE focuses on how a facility's physical space directly impacts staff, patients & their families and the delivery of health care overall. Sessions and exhibits at the show are designed to address the ideas, practices, products and solutions that improve current healthcare facilities and help plan the facilities of tomorrow. This year, HFSE will welcome two influential keynote speakers to Chicago. Ron Galloway, Producer / Director of "Why Wal-Mart Works & Why That Makes Some People Crazy," will offer insight into the changing healthcare industry as Wal-Mart continues to grow as a competitive force in his presentation titled: "Wal-Mart & The Future of Healthcare." HFSE also welcomes journalist and author of Hospital, Julie Salamon, who will address how hospital professionals can continue to make the system efficient and find meaning in their work in modern medical care through her presentation titled: "Hospital: Man, Woman, Birth, Death, Infinity, Plus Red Tape, Bad Behavior, Money, God and Diversity on Steroids." Details: Highlights of the 2009 Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo include: - Return of Green Patient Lab 3.0, a popular exhibit elevating awareness of green materials and technologies that are economically viable, readily available and appropriate for use in intensive healthcare settings
