Eastern Chapter

It is my privilege to serve as the 2025 WSSHE Eastern Chapter President. I want to share my gratitude with our professional members, business partners, and friends of WSSHE who have supported me and others to serve in this role.

I am committed to our Mission, Vision, and Values and believe these are the pillars to who we are as WSSHE, and we rally around them to strive for professional growth, excellence and education for healthcare engineering. We offer education, conferences, and events for those who serve and support healthcare engineering, but the most vital element of WSSHE is the human connections and collaborations we build to provide support for our patients.

In 2025, we have identified three Key Initiatives:

1. Identify strategic planning for the chapter and establish a roadmap to have continued successes with our partners, members, and healthcare facility engineers
2. Outreach to organizations within the Eastern Chapter to build partnerships and extend resources for education, networking, and conferences
3. Continue to grow and implement WSSHE University in Eastern Washington for frontline facility engineers

If WSSHE sounds like it will be of benefit to you, your organization, or your team, I encourage you to join us at any of our WSSHE events and our Eastern Chapter events. Here are Eastern Chapter events that are supported by our generous business partners:

• Annual Baseball Game
• Annual Golf Tournament
• Annual Clay Shooting Event
• Annual Training event

I hope everyone can experience the fun and importance of WSSHE to best serve our patients, communities, and teams.
