What does a healthcare facility manager do?

High Reliability, The Healthcare FM Podcast is brought to you by Gosselin/Martin Associates. Our show discusses the issues, challenges, and opportunities within the Facilities Management (FM) function. 

In this episode of High Reliability,  we have excerpted an episode of the Healthcare Facilities Network. This YouTube Network, created by Gosselin/Martin Associates,   aims to increase awareness that the rewarding and stable career of healthcare facility management is open and available to all. However, an influx of new professionals is needed, from the trades to the management level.

So in today's podcast, we ask a straightforward question: What does a Healthcare Facility Manager do? The answer is simple: A lot!

Now a 35-minute conversation cannot convey all of their responsibility, there are some significant areas we did not even touch on, but you will get a sense of scale and scope. And if you are presently working in healthcare facilities management, from the trades to the CSuite, you will benefit from listening to our guests:

* Alison Brisson, Vice President of Facilities & Support Services, Cambridge Health Alliance, Cambridge, MA;
* Robert Hacker, Director of Facilities & Planning, Design, and Construction, Community Memorial Health System, Ventura, CA

Additionally, Alison's path from hospitality to facilities management and Robert's path from the military to healthcare facilities management may be instructive for others to follow.  Please share this podcast and tell people that great careers exist in healthcare facilities management, from the trades to leadership. 

Thanks to Alison and Robert for their time and insights.
