So much gratitude to all the Professional Members, Business Partners, Sponsors and Volunteers that help make the Washington State Society for Healthcare Engineering a success year after year. We could not have come this far and have vision for the future without your support.

The Washington State Society for Healthcare Engineering is proud to provide front line Engineering Staff with top shelf Education so they can best serve our patient – the Hospital. WSSHE University provides Education in your shops, with a full catalog of classes, hands on training and led by expert instructors. This extension enables your front line engineers to be effective in keeping the staff and Patients safe and your Healthcare site compliant.

Other Education opportunities are available by participating in our spring and fall expos. These events are invaluable for Facilities staff at every level and a great venue for networking. There are also two education based Conferences for WSSHE every year, the Spring Symposium and the Annual Fall Conference are great way to enhance the tools in your tool belt.

We like to have fun at WSSHE too! Join us in 2026 for these amazing adventures!
