ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich., May 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- HHA Services, a leading provider of healthcare food and facility management services, ISSA Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) and the CIMS-Green Building (GB) Certified with honors, celebrates the 2011 performance of their associates.

HHA Services announces that they have commenced a significant, new partnership to provide Plant Operations/Maintenance management for the Inova Health System. Located in Northern Virginia, Inova is nationally recognized, community based, acute-care system. They are one of the region's leading not-for-profit organizations encompassing five hospital campuses that are targeted to expanding access to healthcare, strengthening lives and striving to improve the general health and surgical outcomes for the community of Virginia since 1912.
