    FHEA Roundtable: Healthcare Facilities Leadership in 2026

    What are the biggest challenges healthcare facilities leaders will face in 2026? To answer that question, Healthcare Facilities Network brought together a panel of Florida healthcare facilities professionals during the FHEA Conference for a wide-ranging discussion on leadership, operations, and the future of the industry. Often described as FM magicians because of their ability to solve problems others never see, these leaders share their perspectives on the growing pressures facing healthcare facilities departments, including competing priorities, stakeholder management, leadership transitions, and the increasing expectations placed on facilities teams. The conversation also examines why facilities leaders must begin developing their successors today, not years from now, and how organizations can better prepare the next generation of leaders for long-term success. Recorded live at the FHEA Conference, this episode delivers real-world insights from professionals who continue to shape the future of healthcare facilities management. 🚨 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/ ✅ 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.

    AI, Labor Shortages & the Future of Healthcare Facilities

    Healthcare is changing rapidly, and many of the forces shaping the future extend far beyond the walls of the hospital itself. In this episode of Healthcare Facilities Network, Hamilton Espinosa, Patrick Murphy, and Peter Martin, cover a wide range of topics influencing the healthcare facilities industry today — from AI and labor shortages to recruiting the next generation of professionals, generational differences in the workforce, evolving career paths, and the growing impact of data centers on infrastructure and energy demand. The conversation moves beyond traditional healthcare silos and explores the bigger market shifts affecting how organizations think about leadership, education, hiring, construction, and long-term planning. Along the way, the group shares perspectives on employee deficits, the value of a college education, field experience, and even why hard-plumbed bathrooms on construction sites may matter more than people realize. Rather than focusing on a single issue, this episode offers a broader look at the trends, challenges, and conversations helping shape the future of healthcare facilities and the people working within them. 🚨 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 Patrick: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-murphy-31a7439/ 👥 Connect with Hamilton: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hamilton-espinosa-70057521/ ✅ 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.

    The Real Purpose of Succession Planning in Healthcare Facilities

    Succession planning is rarely a smooth process. According to Paul and Ryan, it involves life vests, knee scrapes, back stops, and sometimes avoiding the metaphorical bus altogether. In this episode of Healthcare Facilities Network, the conversation reframes succession planning as something much bigger: business continuity planning. Rather than simply preparing the next leader, Paul and Ryan explain why healthcare organizations must ensure hospitals continue to operate effectively when key players are suddenly unavailable or gone. The discussion dives into the leadership challenges that often prevent organizations from planning ahead, including fear, ego, and stubbornness. Paul and Ryan also explore the importance of mentorship, accountability, professional presence, and creating environments where future leaders are allowed to grow through experience without allowing mistakes to become catastrophic failures. As Ryan explains, one phrase Paul often uses captures that philosophy perfectly: “I’m gonna let you scrape your knee and not get hit by the bus.” Whether you are actively building future leaders or simply thinking about the long-term stability of your organization, this episode offers practical insight into developing people while protecting the future of the hospital. 🚨 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 Paul: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-deviller-chfm-3626955/ 👥 Connect with Ryan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-gagnon/ ✅ 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.

    Capital Healthcare Projects Done Right | Live from PDC Houston

    Live from the PDC in Houston, Healthcare Facilities Network sits down with Jeff O’Neil of Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital to unpack what it really takes to execute healthcare capital projects successfully. With a multidimensional professional background spanning construction, operations, and facilities leadership, Jeff brings a practical lens to one of the most challenging transitions in healthcare facilities management: moving from project completion to operational ownership. He explains why “Santa Claus isn’t coming to town” during capital projects and why discipline and rigor are essential as projects shift from construction teams to operational stakeholders. The conversation dives into the reality of managing end-user requests during active projects, balancing expectations, and avoiding scope creep that can derail timelines and budgets. Jeff also highlights the importance of strong leadership alignment when addressing deferred maintenance, and how executive support can make the difference between reactive fixes and strategic long-term planning. Healthcare capital projects do not end at substantial completion. Success depends on operational readiness, clear governance, and leadership support. This episode explores how facilities teams can apply rigor, manage expectations, and ensure projects deliver long-term value once they transition into daily operations. 🚨 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 Jeff: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-o-neill-a848403/ ✅ 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.
