Tim Bunch Recognized as Service Hero at Infirmary

Tim Bunch, who works in facilities at the Infirmary, was recognized as a Service Hero for demonstrating the value of EXCELLENCE. Tim developed a contractor safety training orientation after attending a recent meeting of the Arkansas Association of Healthcare Engineers. The speaker noted that in many other industries contractors must attend a safety class. They suggested this was more necessary in hospitals but almost never done.

The orientation Tim created stresses the importance of following infection control guidelines during any construction work with the hospital. He has been training contractors to ensure they have the knowledge to perform their job duties in the hospital with patient safety in mind. He frequently rounds on these job sites to ensure standards are upheld. Tim realizes that patient safety is everyone’s job.
