The biomedical equipment technicians (BMETs) and clinical engineers of Iredell Health System will join healthcare technology professionals from across the country in observing Healthcare Technology Management Week, May 20–26, 2018. This annual celebration is sponsored by the Technology Management Council (TMC) of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI).
