🎉This week, we celebrated our incredible Environmental Services (EVS) team during EVS Week, a time to honor the unsung heroes who keep our hospital safe, clean, and welcoming every single day.

The highlight? Thursday’s EVS Fest, held on the rooftop of our parking garage! They went all out with music, food, games, and plenty of appreciation, because EVS teams are the real Kings and Queens of our hospital. From keeping our spaces spotless to ensuring a safe and healing environment for all, their dedication reigns supreme every single day.👑

To our EVS team: thank you for everything you do. You don’t just clean, you shine. 👏
