The American Society for Health Care Engineering has announced winners of the 2025 Energy to Care Awards, recognizing healthcare facilities that have significantly reduced their energy use and emissions and advanced sustainability goals.
This year, 87 healthcare facilities across 12 healthcare organizations have earned the Sustainability Champions Award, the program’s highest distinction, for demonstrating strong leadership in pursuit of reducing healthcare’s environmental footprint and using saved resources to support patient care. The winners represent less than 2% of the total facilities participating in ASHE’s Energy to Care program, which allows organizations to track and reduce energy usage.
The following hospitals and health systems were recognized:
- Advocate Health, representing 27 winning facilities

The program also recognizes past Energy to Care Award winners who have continued to meet sustainability goals by maintaining or further reducing annual emissions and energy use intensity. In 2025, 267 facilities earned the Sustained Performance Award, accounting for 6% of the total facilities participating in the program.
Participation in the Energy to Care Program has seen consistent growth since its inception in 2006. More than 4,400 facilities have participated since 2010, and in the entire life of the program, healthcare facilities have achieved a combined savings of more than $550 million reallocated to patient care.
