"It carried me down this road I didn't know existed"

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.  

This episode welcomes Jason Brown, Vice President of District Operations at Primetime Healthcare Compliance Services in Houston, TX.  

Before joining Primetime Healthcare, Jason served as Corporate Director of Facilities Management Oceans Healthcare in Plano, TX. Oceans is a national provider of behavioral health services, and we spend a good portion of this podcast talking about behavioral health facilities management. 

Other areas covered in our discussion include:

• Talking about Texas cold,  how nature and buildings function in it, and the resilience needed in the FM role (2:00);
• A career path that "carried me down a path that I didn't know existed" (10:30);
• Servant leadership and ego  (26:30);
• "There is a taboo around mental illness," and working in behavioral health FM (29:00);
• Patient elopement (53:00);
• A word of advice for hiring managers about candidates with behavioral health experience.

As always, thank you for listening.
