Hear first hand what EVS leaders had to say about CHEST.

"Well worth the time and dollar investment! We need to build credibility for our departments and our staff and this is a great way to show our staff that we value them. We are not housekeepers anymore!" -  Wade Bowman, director, Madison Memorial Hospital

The training is awesome, I feel the training for my staff will add to their knowledge base, increase their awareness level of the importance of their job and elevate their standing within the facility. - Sheron Harper, manager, The Medical Center at Franklin

With the emphasis shifted toward patient satisfaction as a primary barometer of service excellence, CHEST is an outstanding opportunity you cannot afford to miss. - Allan Mullen, manager, providence Health & Services

Very comprehensive program. What a great way to invest in your staff AND patients! - Karen Legasse, Providence Health and Services

The CHEST course is a needed training program for front-line Environmental Services staff. It fully meets the expectations that ES leaders have been asking for. If you use this training course you will raise the standards of your department, make the department more compliant with regulations, increase HCAHPS scores, reduce HAIs, and create a high-level running department.- Kent Miller, director, Mercy Health Saint Mary's
