Join us for a special edition of Q&A with the Experts in Healthcare, where solutions and innovation meet healthcare surfaces. This interactive town hall will bring together leading manufacturers with innovative surface technologies and clinicians who navigate the real‑world, often unanticipated challenges of adopting new products and systems in healthcare environments.

This session will offer a preview of the two Surface Intelligence panels featured at the upcoming Healthcare Surfaces Summit, giving attendees an early look at how data, design, and performance are reshaping the way we think about surfaces across the continuum of care. Through open dialogue and live Q&A, participants will explore what happens when new technologies hit the realities of patient care, infection prevention, and environmental services—what works, what doesn’t, and what needs to change next.

Bring your questions, your toughest surface challenges, and your curiosity. You will leave with practical insights you can apply immediately, as well as a deeper understanding of how collaborative innovation can move the industry from fragmented efforts to truly intelligent surface solutions.

Who should attend:
  • Environmental Services Professionals
  • Infection Preventionist
  • Nursing Professionals
  • Patients and Patient advocates
  • Value Analysis professionals
  • Directors of Operation/Facility Managers
  • Building Service providers
  • Manufacturers of Healthcare Solutions

    Executive Director, Healthcare Surfaces Institute (HSI)

    Linda Lybert is the Founder and Executive Director of the Healthcare Surfaces Institute (HSI), now a division of ISSA, where she also leads the newly established ISSA Healthcare Division. With 27 years of experience in the healthcare industry, Linda is a nationally recognized expert in infection prevention, with a specialized focus on the role surfaces play in the transmission of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).

    She developed the Seven Aspects of Surface Selection©, a groundbreaking framework that addresses the complex factors influencing surface safety and hygiene in healthcare environments. Her work has consistently emphasized the need for a multidisciplinary approach, uniting professionals from infection prevention, materials science, design, and healthcare operations.

    To address the fragmented efforts across the industry, Linda founded HSI with a board of global experts, creating the first collaborative dedicated solely to surface-related challenges in healthcare. Under her leadership, the Institute has become a hub for research, education, and innovation aimed at reducing HAIs through improved surface design, selection, and maintenance.

    In 2024, HSI merged with ISSA, and Linda is now spearheading the development of the ISSA Healthcare Division, which provides strategic guidance, training, and resources to healthcare professionals, manufacturers, and building service providers focused on healthcare environmental hygiene.
