Housekeeping Aide

The Housekeeping (EVS) Aide is one of the most important departments in a hospital, responsible for maintaining the hospital and office buildings in a safe, clean, sanitary, orderly and attractive manner, free from offensive odors. Performs daily cleaning of occupied patient areas, nursing stations, work area, halls, lounges, storage areas, laboratory, bathrooms, offices, and any other areas assigned, in accordance with standard procedures of the Environmental Services Department, and in accordance with the facility’s objectives. Los Angeles Community Hospital has been taking care of generations of east Los Angeles families. Having a strong presence in our community has been critical to our success since our inception, along with offering quality, compassionate healthcare accessible to everybody. Most of our doctors, nurses and other employees live in the community, creating a culture of neighbors taking care of neighbors. We have changed with our community—both in the way we deliver medical care and by reaching beyond the walls of our hospital. We work closely with community members to help meet their most important needs. Our 130-bed, acute care hospital offers a wide range of medical programs and services, including cardiology, internal medicine and surgical services.
