Why Join ISHE?
ISHE is a Platinum Level Chapter of the American Society for Health Care Engineering (ASHE).
ASHE Chapter Awards recognize the outstanding achievements and contributions of chapters that partner with ASHE to help optimize the health care physical environment. ASHE Chapters serve as a medium for members to meet and share their professional experiences and encourage each other in optimizing the health care facilities management field, while maintaining safe and healing environments. The most valuable benefit of being a local member is the opportunity to network with others in the same profession within your state. ASHE membership is separate from ISHE membership and is not required but is encouraged.

ISHE addresses a broad spectrum of issues relating to the healthcare industry and the facilities management profession. Our mission is to improve healthcare through better facility engineering. Our vision is to provide education and resources to those serving in healthcare.

Codes & Standards Compliance
Experienced members sort out the myriad of codes and standards that impact your facility. Often people think the solution is to spend more, but ISHE knows that isn't always possible and helps you realize the best way to demonstrate compliance. There is no "right way" and ISHE provides you with a variety of tools and resources to help you choose the best option for you.
