Beyond Code: How Hospitals Are Partnering with Utilities to Achieve Full-Facility Backup Power | Webinar

Hospitals and their patients can’t afford downtime, and with some backup power systems only to meeting minimum code requirements, it can leave critical loads like HVAC, food service, digital records, vital medical equipment, and more unprotected. For many facilities, expanding coverage with diesel generators is too costly, complex, and unreliable.

In this webinar, leaders from Huntsville Memorial Hospital (HMH) share how they partnered with their utility to implement a more resilient, cost-effective model. Working with Entergy and Enchanted Rock, HMH installed utility-owned natural gas generators to protect their full campuses, without the capital expense or operational burden.

Learning Outcomes

Attendees will learn how hospital facilities, engineering and operations teams can:

1. Cover the entire facility, not just emergency loads
2. Eliminate refueling risk and reduce emissions by moving beyond diesel
3. Shift O&M responsibility off their plates
4. Strengthen continuity of care and revenue stability during outages
