SWMD Best Practices Advisory Committee

Modeling Collaboration and Innovation

We have invited experts from across the country to push us to think beyond the boundaries of standard design and operating procedures. They bring knowledge from different disciplines to ensure we are incorporating best practices and using state of the art approaches.

65 national experts representing 50 different organizations have given their time to support the creation of a thriving and healthy Medical District for the 21st Century.
