Meet the Green Team: Ventas, Inc.
Ventas, Inc. joined us for a Green Teams clean-up on August 1st at Humboldt Park.
Ventas Inc., an S&P 500 company, operates at the intersection of two large and dynamic industries – healthcare and real estate. Fueled by powerful demographic demand from growth in the aging population, Ventas owns or has investments in a highly diversified portfolio of approximately 1,400 properties in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Ventas uses the power of its capital to unlock the value of senior housing communities, outpatient medical buildings, research centers, hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
They joined us this year after hearing about the Green Teams program from a colleague - because Ventas has pitched in with us before! Check out their 2021 blog here.
Why is volunteering for the parks important to your organization?
Ventas encourages active participation in our communities through volunteerism, sponsorships and collaboration with organizations that meet critical needs in areas such as education, health, diversity and inclusion and the environment. Volunteering for Chicago parks in an important engagement opportunity for our colleagues, and helps advance the essential mission of CPF.
How does your organization’s mission relate to the work you’re doing with CPF?
