Nominations Open for National EVS Awards
May 11, 2021
Nominations are open for the 12th annual National Hygiene Specialist® Excellence Award, which acknowledges contributions of environmental services (EVS) departments in health care facilities across the United States.
Sponsored by UMF Corp., the award recognizes EVS staff as essential health care workers who have served on the front lines for more than a year in the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic.
“As the world enters the second year of the global pandemic, the National Hygiene Specialist Excellence Award has taken on even more importance,” said UMF CEO George Clarke. “We established the award to celebrate the EVS workers who daily serve as a first line of defense in preventing the spread of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Over the past year, more than ever before, they risked their health and lives to deliver an essential service throughout hospitals, long-term care centers, and other health care facilities as the world fought COVID-19.”
EVS managers are encouraged to nominate their staff members for the award. The award recipient will receive an all-expenses paid trip for two, including airfare, to South Beach, Florida.
The deadline for nominations is July 31, 2021.
