HHS Celebrates Facilities Teams During National Recognition Week

October 12, 2025

This week, Huron Health System (HHS) proudly joins the national celebration of Healthcare Facilities and Engineering Week, a special time dedicated to recognizing the exceptional work of its facilities teams, the individuals who keep Alexandra Marine and General Hospital (AMGH) and South Huron Hospital (SHH) safe, functional, and running smoothly every day.

Although patients and families may never meet them, the impact of their work is evident from the moment someone steps through the hospital doors. Behind the scenes, these teams ensure that the environment supports safe, efficient, and uninterrupted care. From responding quickly to urgent issues to coordinating with contractors and service providers, their dedication ensures that hospital operations remain seamless. Whether planning for the installation of new equipment, solving problems on the fly, or juggling competing priorities across departments, they consistently bring ingenuity, flexibility, and a “can-do” attitude to every task.

“These dedicated teams are hands-on in every corner of our hospitals,” said Jimmy Trieu, President & CEO at Huron Health System. “They support patient care in ways most never see, but everyone depends on. We are truly grateful for their commitment and the critical role they play.”

As the winter months approach, their attention to detail becomes even more apparent, preparing heating systems, clearing sidewalks, and spreading salt to prevent slips and falls. They’re always thinking ahead, ensuring patients, staff, and visitors can enter our facilities safely and without disruption.

HHS encourages everyone to join in recognizing and thanking these professionals for the vital work they do, not just during this special week, but all year round.
