An EVS appreciation contest

Let’s have a little contest in recognition of this week as National Healthcare Environmental Services Week.

Comment on this story with the full name of your favorite medical center EVS worker along with a few words about how great he or she is.

The EVS worker who generates the most comments — or “votes” — gets a $30 gift card to Crave in Midtown Crossing.

You can vote:

  • For more than one EVS worker; but
  • Only once for each EVS worker.

The “polls” close today at 5 p.m.

    Tomas Dizcaya-Landaverde is an environmental employeed in the MSB building. He is the most friendly, respectful environmental sevice person I've met in the 5 years of me being employed here. He always has a smile and speaks. His presence uplifts my spirit. He does an oustanding job in his performance and goes above and beyond his call of duty without anyone having to ask him. He is the EVS worker of the year.
