I want to start off this monthly newsletter with some words of encouragement. Most of you reading this are highly skilled, extremely talented, dedicated facility leaders and care givers. You put aside the stresses you live with at home and come to work every day to fight the battles that assure that our patients and staff have a safe, healthy environment in which to heal and perform healing. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! You and your teams are appreciated.

With all the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, ASHE’s rescheduling its Annual Conference & Technical Exhibition for the first week of October, and now the civil unrest affecting some of the metropolitan areas of our state, KSHE’s executive committee along with the 2020 Healthcare Coalition Conference Steering Committee has decided to cancel the 2020 Healthcare Coalition Conference scheduled as a face-to-face traditional conference in Owensboro this coming September. Instead, we intend to develop the 2020 Healthcare Coalition Conference in a fully virtual format and hold the conference several weeks earlier. This will permit all of our members to attend and benefit from the same high quality education and exposure to our sponsors and exhibitors without having to travel to Owensboro. Additionally, KSHE has booked the Owensboro Convention Center for its 2021 conference, at which time we hope to move back to our more traditional, successful face-to-face format.

There will be much more information regarding the 2020 Fully Virtual HCC in the weeks to come. Be sure and routinely check your email for updates. Additionally, we hope to have a live “Sponsors & Exhibitors” demonstration of the Virtual Conference Platform sometime later this month. It’s very exciting, very effective, and once again KSHE is on the cutting edge of technology. More to come.

Finally, KSHE has concluded its weekly COVID-19 webinar series after a very successful seven (7) week run. Over 350 people attended from all over the country and even from other countries. Thanks to Mike Canales, KSHE Education VP for serving as moderator. Thanks to the Kentucky Hospital Association for serving as presenters every week and providing up to the minute, current information. Thanks to our corporate sponsors, Harshaw Trane, Critical Environmental Solutions, Environmental Safety Technologies Inc, and Mobile Air. Thanks to ALL of our presenters.

KSHE continues to lead by providing its members and our profession with the best, most timely information intended to promote patient safety and excellence in Facilities Management.

Thanks KSHE Members for doing your very best!
