Message from the President

Dear ACHE/SFHEF Members & Colleagues:

In keeping with all of 2019, our 3rd quarter of the year has and will continue to be a busy one despite our extremely hot summer and everyone’s different vacation schedules. In lieu of our usual educational/networking meeting in July, the Board has been planning the 2nd half of 2019 to include several informative educational events and stimulating networking meetings. A highlight of the 2nd quarter was the awarding of 2 SFHEF scholarships – one for an undergraduate and one for a graduate student.

Both our Networking and Educational Committees have been working tirelessly to put together our late August and mid-September events. On Thursday, August 29th, our SFHEF Networking Event will be held at the DAS Beer Garden in Jupiter, Fl. On Saturday, September 7th, our Educational Committee will be offering 2 programs for the price of one ($25) on the Management and Prevention of Hospital Acquired Infections. This program to be held at Jackson Memorial will run from 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. and offer 3 ACHE Face-to-Face Credits. And just to keep September even more interesting, on Thursday, September 19 at Good Samaritan Medical Center, West Palm Beach, SFHEF will hold a 2nd educational meeting on Technology & Innovation, offering 1.5 ACHE Face-to-Face credits.

A totally voluntary organization, SFHEF Board duties aren’t just “in name only” and necessitate experience and dedication, only really learned through prior service on committees and at events. With than being said, now is the time to think about serving on a committee, as a committee chair or Board position for 2020. Please feel free to contact me for more information.

Charles Felix, 2019 SFHEF President
