Greeting fellow NEHES members! I am thankful for the opportunity as President to have the opportunity to reach out to you through our newsletter communication. I have been quite busy this summer, working the day to day as a healthcare facilities director, managing projects, creating budgets, engaging in accreditation surveys, and planning time off to be with my family. There have been times recently when I’ve felt that my absence at work to be with family is self-defeating. By that I mean, in the back of my mind, I know that any time I am not at work, the busyness of our industry is piling up behind me and there will be more work to do when I return. I know that many of us carry this stress as we are all good stewards of our organizations and wish to perform at the very top of our capacity. However, I want to remind you that work-life balance is equally important as doing a great job and getting everything done on a moment's notice.
I ask that you please take some time for yourself, engage with family and friends, enjoy this beautiful New England weather, and to mentally rest and recharge. Our summer weather is quickly fleeting. Be well, and I hope to see you all again very soon.
