Healthcare HEHP Certification Launch

ISSA Healthcare has launched the Healthcare Environmental Hygiene Professional (HEHP) Certification to elevate environmental service (EVS) professionals whose consistent application of cleaning and disinfection directly impacts patient outcomes.

This three-tier program builds science-based skills and competencies through classroom and hands-on training in your facility, integrating infection prevention throughout—from microbiology and cross-contamination to the why behind cleaning and disinfection.

With ongoing education and validation to measure and maintain performance, HEHP translates core principles into practical, repeatable workflows, supporting a highly trained, clinically aligned workforce essential to infection prevention outcomes.
