Environmental Services Week 2026 - Celebrate Hospital EVS Teams
September 13-19, 2026 | #EVSWeek
Environmental Services Week is a time to show appreciation for the dedicated EVS personnel that ensure health care facilities across the country are clean, safe places for patients, their families and other staff members. With all the challenges and changes the last few years have brought, these staff members have remained resilient in their efforts to protect others from dangerous pathogens.
Celebrate Environmental Services Week with Themed Gifts!
EVS Week gifts are an easy way to show your appreciation for your team and raise awareness of the environmental services department at your facility. When you purchase EVS Week products from AHE's official supplier, you generate royalties so AHE can continue to offer training, education, resources and more!
Thank You from AHE Environmental Services Leaders
