More than Maintenance: The People of Matheny

What does it mean to maintain a healthcare environment where residents may live for decades? In this special episode of the Healthcare Facilities Network Podcast, we travel to Matheny Medical and Educational Center in Peapack, New Jersey, to explore how facilities management supports an organization serving individuals with complex medical and developmental disabilities. The conversation brings together Matheny's leadership team, facilities leaders, and frontline maintenance mechanics to examine how every role contributes to the safety, reliability, comfort, and daily experience of the residents who call Matheny home. The episode explores the unique challenges of operating and maintaining a highly specialized healthcare environment, where facilities management is closely connected to the people and mission the organization serves. From long-term planning and operational leadership to the hands-on work of maintenance mechanics, the conversation highlights how a culture of service extends across every level of the organization. Nancy Hamstra, Jim Campoli, Melissa Petracca, Felix Mushayandebvu, and Paul DeVenezia also share what makes Matheny's environment unique and why experiencing the organization firsthand offers a deeper understanding of the work being done every day. For healthcare facilities professionals, this episode offers a powerful look at the people, purpose, and responsibility behind maintaining a place that is far more than a building.
