The second week of September, September 13 – September 19, 2020, is National Healthcare Environmental Services Week. It honors the men and women who ensure safe, comfortable and clean facilities all year long. These dedicated employees provide outstanding services. Their knowledge and skill not only keep medical facilities running smoothly, but they help support positive patient outcomes.

When environmental services run smoothly, our medical concerns can be the focus of medical professionals. That’s why environmental service specialists are vital to the operation of any facility. They are the frontline defense against serious infections throughout a facility. An environmental service specialist’s discipline and dedication keep the patients and medical personnel safe and healthy.
