In February, our board convened to address a pressing requirement in the Greater Boston area, a renowned national hub for healthcare, by launching the Boston Chapter of the Association of Medical Facility Professionals (AMFP). Witnessing the tremendous success of existing AMFP chapters in New York, Philadelphia, and nationwide, our goal is to extend similar support to the multitude of healthcare design and facility professionals in New England.
Our organization is wholly committed to fostering collaboration and promoting excellence in the development, construction, and administration of healthcare-built environments. We aspire to serve as a valuable resource and platform for the numerous professionals in the Greater Boston area, facilitating connections, knowledge sharing, and contributions to the dynamic landscape of healthcare design and facility management.
In the forthcoming year, we foresee a remarkable opportunity for our chapter’s expansion, enabling us to offer spaces and events where diverse professionals can gather, network with peers, and make a positive impact in the field. Our inaugural event in March successfully brought together architects, engineers, project managers, and other healthcare professionals, allowing them to meet our board and familiarize themselves with our new chapter. We are already eagerly anticipating and actively planning additional opportunities for both existing and prospective members to engage, learn, and even earn continuing education credits through expert panels, collaboration with colleagues, and interaction with professionals in related fields.
Our board represents a distinctive and diverse assembly of professionals hailing from various disciplines and backgrounds. By bringing together such a multifaceted group, we aim to better serve and comprehend the broader community of medical facility professionals in Boston. As we progress through our inaugural year as an established chapter, we are eager to learn and evolve alongside our membership and the wider Boston community, ensuring that we effectively address the unique needs of this innovative city in healthcare design and facility management.
