Alan Neuner,
CHFM, Associate Vice President for Facilities Operations,
Geisinger Health System
Alan R. Neuner, a native of Nazareth, Pennsylvania, received his mechanical engineering degree from Drexel University and worked for several years in the steel and air separation industries.
In 1988 he joined the Facilities Operations staff of the Geisinger Health System, an integrated health system with facilities dispersed across a 42-county service area in central and northeastern Pennsylvania. As Associate Vice President for Facilities Operations, Al is responsible for 200 employees servicing a physical plant of four million square feet. The main campus in Danville realized a significant energy savings because Al and his staff devised a creative strategy to manage energy resources, which resulted in a reduction in overall energy utilization while the physical plant expanded by more than 50 percent.
Al has won many awards for his achievements. He received the prestigious 2002 Fame Award of Excellence from the Association of Facilities Engineers for his work on legionella remediation, and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation awarded him the 2000 Businesses for the Bay Award for large business.
