This partner in healthcare delivery is responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the entire building, providing 7 days a week service. The Environmental Services Department works closely with many other departments within the hospital, and in particular, with the Infection Control Department to provide a clean, safe environment for patients, visitors, staff and volunteers.   The volume of work completed by the Environmental Services Department within a year can only be described as immense. Did you know that our staff cleans hundreds of beds a month from either discharged or transferred patients? And this number only includes the actual patient beds on the wards. It doesn’t even include the beds or stretchers cleaned in our Emergency, Operating Rooms or Recovery Rooms which are used on a daily basis.
