Summer solstice is on June 21 this year. It makes me happy to know that we’re in spring, and summer still hasn’t arrived! Some would debate me on that with this unpredictable weather we’re having, but hopefully it means we still might have a chance to see a few cool spring days this month.

June is our annual focus on Healthcare Facilities, and we have a lot to share in this issue. Rod Poe, High-Profile’s VP of sales, and I attended PWC Connecticut’s Southern New England Healthcare event that was held on May 2. The panel was fantastic, and it was there that I met Reaghan Schicker of Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.

Reaghan was one of the panelists, and I loved what she had to share with the audience. Our healthcare section opens with her article, Navigating Beyond the Pandemic: Collaboration, Innovation and Impact in the Healthcare AEC Industry. Check it out on page 12.

What an exciting month for HP! We just launched our first episode of Season 3 of the Build Better podcast. Matt O’Malley of Vicinity Energy joined me to talk about Vicinity’s Clean Energy

Future, Net Zero Carbon plan. He was a delight to have on the show, and I learned a great deal. Visit buildbetter.space to listen to the episode.

You may see folks from High-Profile Media Group attending a lot of events this month. I had forgotten how many are actually held in June! Check out our calendar at high-profile.com/events/. One of the events you’ll see me at is the Association of Medical Facility Professionals (AMFP) Boston chapter’s first panel and discussion on June 15. The topic will be Flexibility in Healthcare. Visit amfp.org/boston to learn more and to register.

Speaking of AMFP, we have a nice five page feature in this issue on the Boston chapter, which includes a letter from chapter president, Connor O’Keefe, and a list of our 2023 board members. If you didn’t know already, I am the communications director for the Boston chapter. It’s been great getting to be a part of the process of building the chapter from the ground up. You can read Connor’s message on page 24. Until next time, enjoy the read!
