TESTIMONIALS

Peter E. Whiteman, Manager, Energy Centre's RQHR, Regina Saskatchewan

If you are in any way involved with healthcare facilities, their infrastructure or equipment, you should be involved in CHES. CHES is comprised of industry professionals from across Canada representing every facet of healthcare management, providing you with access to a wide range of industry expertise. It provides the mechanisms to keep you informed on the ever-changing codes and standards that regulate our industry. CHES members contribute to, and work with regulatory bodies in writing and implementing those same codes and standards. CHES members problem solve through network connections.

Reynold J. Peters, Manager, Construction/Energy Savings, South Eastern Health/Santé Sud-Est Inc., Steinbach, Manitoba

“I have found that after attending many different conferences over the years on building management, better buildings, energy conservation, etc. that CHES most closely fits the niche for someone working directly in the management of healthcare facilities. CHES has a vast array of members from across the country who are only a phone call away. The access to information and other facilities’ experiences that I am able to draw upon, has been a huge help in our own planning and maintenance of our facilities. The yearly national conference is the highlight, with information sessions, speakers with outstanding expertise, a tradeshow with a Green Park, and best of all an opportunity to meet longtime friends and network with facility managers and industry partners.”
