President’s Corner

Dear SMSHE Members,

I hope everyone is doing well. I would like to provide a couple of updates with the events happenings within our engineering society. First, I would like to thank Dino Marra and the golf committee for putting on such a successful outing.  A huge thanks to all the vendors that donated prizes. Everyone does an amazing job supporting the event!

We took our educational meeting back on the road and hosted our last meeting at Ascension Providence Rochester Hospital. It was great getting back out and visiting health care facilities.  Our next meeting in October will also be at a health care facility, see below and look out for future email blasts to register for this meeting.

ASHE is rolling out a Core Competency Framework which are diving in to how our facilities are becoming more complex.  The framework charts out key skills of health care facilities management and offers education, resources and tools to help professionals fill knowledge gaps in each area. Here is the link to the Core Competency Framework: https://www.ashe.org/core-competency-framework. There are 8 categories to help facilities staff and managers to ensure patients and health care providers have a safe, comfortable and cost-efficient environment.

ASHE Elections have wrapped up and we want to say congratulations to SMSHE Member Mark Mochel, who is the new Advisory Board Associate Member Representative. Donald Page retained the Region 5 Advisory Board Representative, which covers our region.

Again, thank you very much for your support.

Your SMSHE President,
Daniel Martino
