Description

A panel discussion from industry leaders who were personally involved in the 24/7 effort supporting our country’s response to a healthcare pandemic.

The panelists will share stories on the Army Corps led temporary Alternate Care Facilities, converting and modifying existing facilities to support increased ICU and infectious patients, and the complete reopening of a previously closed and bankrupt hospital.

Our experts will share their “war” stories and lessons learned from across the country and from the perspectives of the many challenges faced from design, construction, commissioning and operations.
