The group’s membership includes engineers, psychologists, physicians, nurses, designers, educators, therapists, and others who have a personal interest in the health care area. Our members work in organizations, such as colleges and universities, engineering and design firms, manufacturing companies, government agencies, treatment centers, healthcare provider agencies, and hospitals. The only requirement for joining our group is your interest.
