    Allegheny Valley Hospital, Pennsylvania beats its cleanliness goal and cuts staff injuries from 17 to 1

    Crothall's environmental services and patient transport team: HCAHPS cleanliness Top Box at 77.58% (2025 year to date), 5% above the 2025 goal; reported employee injuries down from 17 in 2024 to 1 in 2025; more than 28,000 transport tasks in 2025 with a 10-minute average trip time and 96.9% on-time performance (as reported by Crothall Healthcare)

    The problem: Month-to-month swings in HCAHPS cleanliness scores at the 147-bed hospital made the trend hard to trust, and leaders wanted predictable performance.

    The problem: CPS building staff needed energy-focused operations and maintenance training, and tuition is hard for a public district to fund.

Three people, full accessIncludedComes with anything you pick: every session, every meal and the evening cocktail reception in the exhibit room. Plus the delegate list, with names, titles and organizations, 30 days before the summit.

One category, one summit. Prices in USD. Whatever you pick includes three people with full access. Meetings are booked on an opt-in basis before the summit; any booked meeting that doesn't happen is added to your next summit.

No vendor walks the show. Solution providers attend only as sponsors. A vendor that has not sponsored cannot register, attend or work the room, so the facility leaders you meet are not being chased by your competitors in the hallway.
