Healthcare Facilities Network

June 2023 Programming

It has been an active month at the Healthcare Facilities Network. We have produced great content that we hope you will find helpful and enjoyable; we posted more than 20 healthcare facility-specific videos in June. Some are linked below, while the rest are available on the Healthcare Facilities Network. Explore!

But first, one of the enjoyments we receive here at HFN is the ability to speak with people of all ages and backgrounds working in healthcare facility management. This month, we talked to people at opposite ends of the career spectrum. We interviewed a facilities intern in college and retirees who had distinguished careers in healthcare facilities and are now continuing their careers in other arenas. These videos are linked below.

HFN's mission is to inform, educate, and increase awareness that this rewarding career is open and available to all. From the trades to leadership, please help us promote this critical discipline by subscribing to HFN and spreading the word!

A stress podcast for you

There has always been stress in the healthcare profession. But these days, the stress is amplifying, including with those who have been in the role for the entirety of their career. Because stress is such an integral part of facilities work, we view stress through the lens of healthcare facilities management on this episode of the High Reliability podcast.
