President's Message
By Martin Wheatley, President
Whew!! 2020 is over. What a year. I want to start my first message with a big shout out to Joe Taylor. He kept us focused and on track through a very trying time during an unprecedented pandemic. With his leadership, we were able to keep KSHE on track with our objective to provide a medium for the interchange of ideas among members and dissemination of information to members. Joe led a webex panel of experts to pass on pertinent information to our member hospitals and share ideas and experiences in coping with the COVID pandemic. Again Joe, thank you for your leadership and dedication in making KSHE the leading ASHE chapter in educational content and member participation.

ASHE Update
By Michael Roberts, ASHE Region 3 Board Representative
Greetings and Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great holiday season and stayed safe. The holiday season showed once again the importance of healthcare facility management, with many of us not able to take extended time off while we prioritized the safety of those in our facilities as they reached and exceeded capacities. I do hope that each of you was able to have some down time and some family time, either directly or though today’s technology of live remote meetings and calls. Our home has recently had four Zoom birthday/holiday celebrations bringing on to the screen family from three different states.
