Environmental Services Department of the Year
Sponsored by Tork
The Environmental Services Department of the Year Award provides national recognition for the significant contributions made by an environmental services department to the overall patient experience and achieving a health care organization's mission.
Every year, AHE recognizes the extraordinary work environmental services departments contribute to the health and safety of hospitals and health centers. The EVS Department of the Year highlights the outstanding achievements of a cutting-edge environmental services team in maintaining high levels of performance in cleaning, disinfecting, infection prevention, environmental sustainability and stewardship, technology use, patient satisfaction, education, and training in critical areas.
AHE and Tork, an Essity brand, were honored to recognize these facilities with the EVS Department of the Year Award 2026. The winners were announced during the Exchange26 Summit in New Orleans this year.
