Healthcare Facilities Network "I accidentally fell into healthcare facilities management"
High Reliability, The Healthcare FM Podcast is brought to you by Gosselin/Martin Associates. Our show discusses the issues, challenges, and opportunities within the Facilities Management (FM) function.
In this first episode of 2022 and the first of High Reliability Season 3, we are pleased to welcome Brittany Remec. Brittany is a Construction Project Lead at Advocate Aurora Health. The Advocate Aurora System has hospitals and offsites throughout Illinois and Wisconsin.
Brittany, a millennial, offers an interesting perspective on healthcare facilities management and discusses her unique career path, from college to her most recent construction role with Advocate Aurora. She has accumulated a great deal of experience in a relatively short period and we discuss some of the lessons she has learned as she has advanced.
Topics covered include:
- An interesting story on how Brittany arrived at her career path and how incidents of her life helped set her on her way, including a brother, a lift company, and Purdue University (2:30);
- On gaining financial consensus, and leading through difficult situations (13:20);
- Learning about facilities management by "accidentally falling into it," and transitioning from construction to healthcare facilities management to healthcare construction (20:00);
- Building a career, and changing perspectives and goals (43:00);
- Views for millennials, and others, considering a healthcare career and the importance of mentorship (47:00).
Our thanks to Brittany for appearing on High Reliability, and as always, thank you for listening!
