Pueblo’s East Side Clinic is the first zero energy health facility in the US

Pueblo Community Health Center’s new East Side Clinic doesn’t have electric bills. It doesn’t have gas bills either. The center has gained the distinction of being the first verified health care facility in North America to win a zero energy verification. That means the clinic at 1301 E.

There are no gas bills either because a high-tech geothermal pump system provides heating and cooling, said Donald Moore, Pueblo Community Health Center chief executive officer. “From…
