Featured on ActionEco.org: Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center's Steady Steps Toward Energy Efficiency Pay Off

SEATTLE, WA, Jul 07 (MARKET WIRE) --
Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, a Level I trauma center and
teaching hospital in Chicago, is using a savvy combination of building
technology and creative ingenuity to use 27 percent less energy than a
typical hospital of its size, according to ActionEco.org, an online
expert forum on enterprise energy efficiency.

The hospital's facilities team and administration knows that a dollar
saved equals many dollars earned.

"I can go up to my administration and say, 'I saved you $100,000 last year
in energy. That's the equivalent of you having to go out and look for $2
million dollars worth of new business,' says York Chan, the hospital's
director of facilities.

In 2006, U.S. News and World Report named Advocate Illinois one of the top
50 hospitals in the U.S. for heart care and heart surgery. Its careful
attention to responsible resource management complements Advocate Health
Care's initiative to adopt environmentally sustainable practices in order
to promote health and healing. At Advocate Illinois, wise energy usage has
become an integral part of its culture.

"Energy conservation is not a single project. It's not a single piece of
equipment that you buy to get you to efficiency," Chan says. "It's a
culture that spreads throughout the entire organization that says, 'This
is the right thing to do.' That's the culture we've created."
