The South Carolina Society for Hospital Engineers

The South Carolina Society for Hospital Engineers is a professional membership group that leads the state in providing resources and training opportunities for hospital engineers, facility managers, and all persons involved in everyday operations and maintenance of the state’s hospitals and medical centers. It is also the state chapter of the American Society for Health Care Engineering (ASHE).

Hospital engineers are responsible for maintaining the circulatory and respiratory systems of health care facilities. They must be knowledgeable concerning federal and state laws and regulations, as well as local building codes developed to protect patients, staff and visitors. These are constantly changing, creating the need for continuing education.
