2022 NEHES President


HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

As the calendar turns to 2022, I am filled with optimism for the year ahead, in addition to a wealth of emotions. Among these emotions I am feeling a sense of happiness, hopefulness, a cautious confidence, and a sense of pride. Pride in carrying on not only the NEHES tradition, but also thinking about the long family history that I have in NEHES. Though in considering the NEHES organization, I can truly say you are all a part of my family. I thank all of you for that.


I am humbled to have been elected President of NEHES, and hope to build upon the foundation that has been placed before me. This foundation has been well crafted by leaders in the healthcare engineering industry over now sixty-four years.


The year 2022 represents significant challenges for the healthcare industry. The continuing pandemic is ever changing with new variants coming at us every few months. We are the innovators that keep our patients, visitors, and staff safe within our facilities, and innovation has been the norm in dealing with the pandemic. Hopefully, 2022 sees the end of the pandemic and a return to, somewhat, normalcy.


Let’s get to work!

When was the Last Time you Checked HVAC Coils for Mold & Bacteria
Conservation Solutions Corp®
Mechanical cleaning of coils every 6 months is not effective so Healthcare facilities need solutions to control bacteria, mold and viruses including Covid-19 in HVAC systems 24/7. Steril-Aire UVC Systems are a CDC approved technology to improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), reduce Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) and associated liability costs. Steril-Aire UVC Systems are backed by a 2 ½ year peer reviewed ASHRAE study of 6 NE hospitals. Not All UVC Systems are the same.
