Join Market Insights Expert, Tyler James

In this session, Market Insights Expert Tyler James will explore the current state of U.S. acute care facilities and the Environmental Services (EVS) teams on the frontlines of infection prevention. The session will also examine how evolving trade and immigration policies may impact hospital budgets, staffing levels, workloads, and patient infection risk.
With two-thirds of hospitals operating below capacity in recent years due to staffing shortages—and financial pressures continuing to grow—healthcare operators face a complex landscape that demands a careful balance of cost control, workforce productivity, and infection prevention.
