About Us
The Future of Environmental Responsibility in Healthcare
At Oakwell, we believe sustainability isn’t just a goal; it’s an achievable strategic advantage.
Our Mission: Oakwell exists to help health systems implement comprehensive sustainability and real estate solutions that create positive environmental, financial, and social impact.
Our Vision: By 2035 Oakwell will save the healthcare system enough money to provide care to 1,000,000 people.

A Collaboration of Boston Medical Center Health System + Omicelo
In fact, Boston Medical Center has already experienced over $500 million in cost-savings doing the same work that Oakwell will perform for other health systems. That’s why it was a no-brainer to form Oakwell, identify world class experts, and help as many hospitals as we can meet their sustainability goals while fulfilling their financial needs.
This robust collaboration delivers both proven and innovative approaches to environmentally responsible healthcare — and results in a positive upgrade to your day-to-day and long-term operations. Here’s what our healthcare sustainability experts bring to the table:
A proven track record of success with other healthcare organizations
Identifying creative funding solutions for your sustainability initiatives
Navigating the cultural dynamics of your organization to get internal leadership buy-in
Assisting you in advocating the positive impact of your sustainability efforts
