Cleanliness in hospitals is nothing less than a matter of life and death. The hundreds of environmental services employees in the six hospitals of Loma Linda University Health are as vital as the health care teams who care for patients.
To thank these lifesavers, Loma Linda University Health held appreciation lunches for environmental services employees at three locations — Loma Linda University Medical Center and the East Campus and Murrieta locations.
Administrators and others served the food for the honored employees. Scott Perryman, MBA, senior vice president/administrator at LLU Children’s Hospital, helped out.
“It means everything for our sick babies and children, and their families, that the environmental services team keeps the hospital clean and sterile, especially considering that many of our patients have compromised immune systems due to their illness and treatment,” he says. “I’m thankful every day for the environmental services employees who ensure our patients’ health and safety.”
