Taking Care of Business

This week, reporter Penny S. Bonda takes a hard look at the health care industry and its efforts to create healthier indoor environments for patients, employees, and the larger community. "Putting the 'Healthy' Back in Healthcare" examines how for over 40 years Oakland, Calif.-based Kaiser Permanente has made environmental issues a top priority at its facilities throughout the Bay Area. Kaiser has gone on to win numerous awards for its forward-thinking approach to healthcare.

Also this week: sustainability-minded MBAs scheduled to graduate in a couple months get some useful career tips from our resident experts, Steve Rice and Richard MacLean.
