In this episode of High Reliability, we re-introduce So, You Want to Be..., a podcast episode dedicated to exploring the various roles available in healthcare facilities management.  

Today we welcome Justin Givens to the High Reliability podcast. Justin is Director of Facilities Services at SUN Behavioral Kentucky in Erlanger, KY.  Justin has the distinction of being the first healthcare facility management professional who we have talked to who comes from the behavioral health world.

Justin gives great insight into working in behavioral health. Having worked in an acute care hospital before transitioning into behavioral health, he offers his perspective into the differences and behavioral health challenges. It is an interesting podcast, so please give it a listen.
