For over 50 years, the Children’s Center in Augusta, Maine, has transformed the lives of children with developmental disabilities. This new expanded facility will help the Children’s Center serve even more of these special kids and their families.
We hope that each one of you are staying safe and well during this time. We would like to thank you for all you are doing at your facilities in keeping up with the demand, as we try to get through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thank you to all who joined us for our first-ever virtual conference. With over 250 facility managers, business partners and esteemed speakers in attendance, we hope you made connections, increased your knowledge and had some fun while you were at it!
The virtual conference featured presentations that supported this year’s theme: “Sustaining Healthcare Now and Into the Future: Continuous Improvement without Exhausting Resources.” The Fall Conference committee did an excellent job selecting topics relevant in today’s environment. Thank you to the committee from the Rhode Island Healthcare Engineers’ Society, led by CJ Brown, NEHES Education Chair, for their work on this year’s event.

The fall is finally upon us, and the days are getting much shorter. Although socially we have had to keep ourselves safe, and we seem to learn new ways to adapt to this new world order every day, I can affirm that ASHE business is going on as usual, just in a virtual format. Let me offer our NEHES membership the following updates.
