Celebrating Environmental Services Week
Today we are recognizing the dedicated environmental service(EVS) workers who help create clean, safe and welcoming spaces for patients, families and care teams across Saskatchewan.
From preparing patient rooms to supporting infection prevention, EVS staff play an important role in the delivery of high-quality patient care every single day.
Inspired by their commitment and compassion, Vinod Rana, an environmental services manager in Humboldt, wrote ‘The Heart of EVS’ as a tribute to the teams across the province.
Read the poem and join us in celebrating the environmental service professionals who make a difference every day.
The Heart of EVS
In halls so bright, in rooms so clean,
Behind the scenes, yet always seen.
A caring touch, a mindful way,
Ensuring health in night and day.
I choose this path, not for the fame,
But for the heart behind the name.
For every floor that shines with grace,
For every smile in every place.
What keeps me here? The lives we guard,
Through steady hands and work that's hard.
A quiet force, yet strong and true,
A team that cares in all we do.
Proud to stand in EVS,
More than a job—a deep success.
For those we help, for those we serve,
A duty done with love and nerve.
