MOSHE Earns Platinum Elite Chapter Award
The Missouri Society for Healthcare Engineering recently was recognized by the American Society for Health Care Engineering for its exceptional contributions to optimizing the health care physical environment in partnership with ASHE.
ASHE, a professional membership group of the American Hospital Association, presented its 2025 Chapter Awards during the annual Health Care Facilities Innovation Conference held July 27-30 in Columbus, Ohio.
This recognition celebrates MOSHE’s dedication to excellence, leadership and innovation in health care engineering and the facility management field.
MOSHE was one of 17 chapters recognized with the Platinum Elite Chapter Award. Chapter Awards are given at the platinum, gold, silver and bronze level for meeting various criteria that signify the chapters’ outstanding work supporting ASHE’s strategic objectives. Chapters at each award tier also may attain an “elite” bonus award by verifying participation in ASHE’s Energy to Care Chapter Challenge.
