Alex took charge of the RMI/ Health Care Without Harm project to produce a Design for Health: Summit for Massachusetts Healthcare Decision Makers to green Boston 's hospitals. He was engaged at every level including surveying CEO-level participants about their concerns, formulating break-out group discussion topics, helping prepare a keynote presentation, and writing a post-Summit report. Topics included energy, indoor air quality, healing environment, and water.

Alex contributed to RMI's ongoing research and consulting for the healthcare industry. This included researching and showcasing examples in which high-performance green healthcare facilities are better for the environment while greatly improving resource efficiency, patient recovery rates, and staff retention.

“Alex was not just worthwhile, he was indispensable. It never ceased to amaze me at how much Alex got done. No matter how unachievable the amount of tasks he took on, he always seemed to finish them in a shorter timeframe than seemed possible.”

“I will forever be able to take the lessons learned from one of the most respected non-profits in the energy/environment field and apply them to my future work.”
