Health Care Environmental Services’ Response to COVID-19 Challenges– Continuing the Conversation

AHE would like to continue the open dialogue centered on environmental services leaders challenges and responses to COVID-19. This discussion, once again moderated by Patti Costello, AHE’s executive director, provides you an opportunity to share additional and continued challenges and obstacles, hear from peers, and discuss the various approaches and innovative solutions you are taking to combat COVID-19. As you discuss the latest lessons learned and changes in practice, the conversation will also focus on EVS technicians’ concerns about cleaning in COVID rooms, and will conclude with strategies for planning for a fall surge and additional waves.
