TESTIMONIALS

Barry Doran, Support Services Manager, Golden West Centennial Lodge, Winnipeg MB

“What does CHES mean to me? Well, one of the major things is education days. They are a chance to connect with peers from both the hospital and the long term care side, seeing also what vendors have offered at the trade shows. Build relationship with those vendors and the rest of the individuals that attend this trade show. There are a wide variety of jobs specific seminars that offer a great deal of information for us that we my or may not have access to otherwise. The national website or national organization also gives us access to relevant webinars from other areas of the country than we are in now. Also very important to us is access to the CSA standards.” click here

James Woodall, Manager, Engineering Services, Chatham ON

“Never has given me the ability to connect with other facility managers and professional contractors. I have also had the opportunity to expand my knowledge and engage in membership courses that are offered during conferences and webinars. During the beginning of COVID I have reached out to contacts that I developed through chess to discuss ideas and ways to create a safer environment in our hospitals” click here

Chris Mackey, Director of Facilities Management, Providence Care , Kingston ON

“Hi, my name is Chris Mackey. I’m the dictator of facilities management at Providence Care in Kingston, Ontario, and have been an active member of the Canadian Healthcare Engineering Society for 15 years. I find my CHES membership to be of tremendous value. A few of the benefits that I have enjoyed include complementary access to CSA standards that are relevant to the healthcare industry, educational opportunities such as webinars, trade show and conferences, and getting to know a lot of like minded individuals and professionals who work in the industry who I can reach out to for guidance when I came across new challenges” click here
