Broadspire Medical Management Moves Into New Green Location

ATLANTA, April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Broadspire, a Crawford Company (NYSE: CRDA; CRDB) and leading third party administrator of workers compensation claims, liability claims and medical management services, has moved its global medical management headquarters from Plantation, Fla., to a new, environmentally friendly building in Sunrise, Fla.

The 64,000-square-foot structure, located at 1391 N.W. 136th Ave. in the Sawgrass International Corporate Park, offers many engaging features for the company, for the 300 employees who will relocate there, and for client meetings, tours and audits at the medical management headquarters. The committee responsible for choosing the new location looked at several comparable spaces, but was drawn to the building's environmental benefits and work atmosphere it offers.

The location is certified by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) as a site with a whole-building approach to sustainability. LEED recognizes performance in five areas: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality and materials selection. The building meets the energy-savings goal through a solar energy system, smart light system, fiber optics and water reclamation system.

"One of the key deciding factors on moving to our new location was the fact it is a Silver LEED Certified facility. This provides Broadspire with an opportunity to participate in additional green initiatives in addition to recycling and energy conservation," said Danielle Lisenbey, chief operating officer of medical services. "We will be incorporating many new changes, ranging from a smoke-free campus and additional recycling and energy conservation to further wellness initiatives. Improvements for our work environment, community environment and personal well-being - this is what makes the move exciting."
