Live from FHEA 2026: The Biggest Conversations in Healthcare Facilities

The Healthcare Facilities Network traveled to the Florida Healthcare Engineering Association (FHEA) Conference to connect with healthcare facility leaders, industry partners, and consulting professionals from across the state. In this special episode, HFN captures the conversations shaping healthcare facilities in 2026. Topics include workforce shortages, succession planning, leadership development, artificial intelligence, NFPA updates, product life cycle management, and the strategies organizations are using to prepare for the future of healthcare facility operations. Recorded live from the conference, these discussions highlight the real-world challenges facing healthcare facility departments and the innovative approaches leaders are taking to strengthen their teams, improve operations, and navigate an evolving industry. Thank you to the Florida Healthcare Engineering Association and its leadership team for welcoming Healthcare Facilities Network to the conference and allowing us to share these conversations with the broader healthcare facilities community. 🚨 Subscribe to the Healthcare Facilities Network Podcast to gain awareness about the rewarding career of healthcare facilities management: / @healthcarefacilitiesnetwork 👥 Connect with Peter: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-martin-6284363b/ Today's Guests: 👥 Connect with Bobby Baird: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobby-baird-fashe-chfm-2ab07814/ 👥 Connect with Jennifer Bello: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-bello-bs-mph-chfm-che-4b8873174/ 👥 Connect with John Crouch: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-crouch-31aa83a/ 👥 Connect with Michael Neely: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-neely-a301a14a/ 👥 Connect with Taylor Benay: https://www.linkedin.com/in/taylor-benay-0a684071/ 👥 Connect with Jim Peterkin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-peterkin-35bbb66/ 👥 Connect with Patrick Murphy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-murphy-31a7439/ 👥 Connect with Steve Van Ness: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-w-van-ness-a8356017/ ✅ Important Links To Follow: 👉 Cref: https://cref.com 👉 HFN Website: https://healthcarefacilitiesnetwork.com/ 👉Watch on YouTube: https://healthcarefacilitiesnetwork.com/ 👉Listen on Apple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 👉Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3vWorrUkfsBprrg5S2TUjZ ✅ Stay Connected With Us! 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthcare-facilities-network/ 👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthcarefacilitiesnetwork/ 👉 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572807523974 👉X: https://x.com/HFNPodcast 📬 For Business Inquiries: pmartin@cref.com \================================= Disclaimer: We do not accept any liability for any loss or damage which is incurred by you acting or not acting as a result of listening to any of our publications.
