Healthcare Facility Managers and Plant Managers
A shifting healthcare landscape requires healthcare facility managers to wear many hats and take on new responsibilities. The demand to “do more with less” is becoming a greater challenge. With this in mind, the ASHE Annual Conference is designed to give healthcare facility management professionals the tools they need to stay abreast critical changes affecting the healthcare built environment, while discovering and honing leadership qualities that benefit their organization as a whole.
Healthcare Engineers and Technicians
As times change, tools change — and so must knowledge and skills. With shifts in technology and increased pressure for more efficient facilities, healthcare engineers and technicians must expand their knowledge to optimize for greater efficiency and productivity. Sessions at the ASHE Annual Conference directly address these most pressing issues, and guides them where to focus their energy.
