KCMH is the first LEED Platinum Certified Critical Access Hospital in the United States. The original Kiowa County Hospital was destroyed on May 4, 2007 in a massive tornado that destroyed or severely damaged 95% of Greensburg, Kansas. KCMH decided to build back to the highest level of LEED and "Go Green". In fact, the hospital's design team took one of the most energy-intensive building types and designed a first-of-it's-kind energy efficient hospital, while still meeting functional and safety requirements.
Recycled materials were used in 30% of the interior finishes, including tile and recycled rubber floors. Walking paths incorporated into the healing garden and patio micro-climate promote the healing strategies of the hospital.
