President’s Corner
Dear SMSHE Members,
I hope everyone is enjoying a pleasant winter! We’ve had some highly informative educational meetings recently, and we have many more exciting opportunities planned for the upcoming months and throughout the year.
On Wednesday, March 12, 2025, we will be hosting a session on Decarbonization Solutions for HealthCare at the Engineering Society of Detroit in Southfield. Liz, along with our Events and Education Committee and Board of Directors, have been working hard to bring you excellent educational events, with a bit of fun mixed in. Mark your calendars – our Golf Outing is scheduled for Friday, July 18, 2025. These events are always well attended, and we look forward to seeing you at one soon!
ASHE has recently released a valuable resource titled “Optimizing Health Care Finance: The Facilities Manager’s Handbook.” This tool is packed with information that provides healthcare facilities managers with essential financial insights, skills, and tools. The stakes are high underfunding a facilities department can lead to operational inefficiencies, mechanical breakdowns, lost revenue, compliance issues, staff turnover, and, ultimately, patient safety concerns. This handbook will help you navigate budgeting, capital improvement requests, and other key financial aspects of facilities management. Learn more about the Health Care Facilities Management Essentials Series from ASHE.
If you haven’t already, now is the perfect time to renew your SMSHE membership. [Membership Types | Join SMSHE Healthcare]
Please feel free to reach out to any board member if you have suggestions for educational opportunities that could benefit our members. To all our professional, associate members, and vendors—your support is what makes SMSHE such a great organization. Thank you, as always, for your ongoing contributions.
We look forward to seeing you at an event or meeting soon!
Best regards,
Daniel Martino
SMSHE President
