The Southeast Texas Chapter (ACHE-SETC) is one of the largest regional chapters with an average annual membership of 1,300 covering 29 counties in the southeast Texas region.
According to the officers of the ACHE-SETC and Foundation Board of Directors, "a partnership with MWA will provide an educational opportunity that will substantively enhance the image, presence, and value for our membership in our region.
They added, “In addition, our Chapter takes great pride in our responsibility to provide educational sessions, in more venues, with the broadest possible topical themes as appropriate - designed to reach the greatest number of people to support and improve their work toward enhancing their professional growth. It is our desire to move forward in partnership with MWA and to collaborate with and augment the educational imperative of ACHE national."
From Vendome Group, the Healthcare Design Academies provide educational sessions and resource connections - bringing together the people, organizations, and facilities that are setting new standards in healthcare design.
Uniting the industry’s foremost solutions providers with select healthcare architects and facility executives, these events boast the participation of around 150 respected thought leaders and key decision-makers throughout the U.S.
“With an increased focus on patient-centered care, healthcare designers and clinicians are forging stronger relationships than ever. By bringing together Healthcare Design and Medical World Americas, we are helping to bridge what has historically been a large gap between design and clinical,” said Mark Fried, president of Vendome Group.
He added, “Medical World Americas provides the perfect opportunity for the designers, architects and facility executives to network with clinicians and continue to forge the relationships that are critical to the success of patient-centered care.”
The addition of these new partners is the first in a series of planned strategic moves designed to accelerate the development of MWA and provide significant ROI for exhibitors and attendees alike.
