New England Healthcare Engineers Society

What New England Healthcare Engineers Society does

New England Healthcare Engineers Society (NEHES) is a non-profit professional membership society founded in 1958 and headquartered by mailing address in Leander, Texas, that serves healthcare facility engineering professionals across the six New England states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont). NEHES is the only American Hospital Association (AHA) and American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE) affiliated chapter in the Northeast, delivering member services through six state chapters, monthly chapter meetings, a webinar series, an annual Spring Seminar, an annual Fall Conference, and advocacy participation with ASHE and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The organization offers tiered membership (Active, Educator/Student, Honorary, Supporting, Corporate, Corporate PLUS), CHFM/CHC certification support via ASHE-approved CEUs, an annual scholarship program (up to $5,000 per recipient), and awards programs including the Healthcare Horizon Award and Member of the Year.

NEHES does not develop proprietary technology; its operations run on YourMembership association management software and are professionally administered by CMP Management under a Them-to-Us management contract. Revenue is generated through membership dues (notably supporting at $100, corporate at $300, corporate PLUS at $900), conference and seminar registrations, exhibit booth sales (~$2,000 per 8'x8' booth), a sponsorship ladder ranging from $500 to a $15,000 Annual Corporate Sponsor tier (held by Siemens/Brightly Software in 2026), and newsletter/advertising placements via officialmediaguide.com. The customer base is distributed across individual healthcare facility professionals and institutional hospital systems, while corporate/vendor sponsors (Consigli Construction, Suffolk Construction, SMRT, Syska Hennessy, Thornton Tomasetti, A/Z Corporation, Auburn Construction, Cochrane Ventilation, Flow Tech, Siemens/Brightly) form a diversified supporting-membership economy. Headcount is 1–10 employees with all operations executed through the contracted management firm, and the organization operates under a member-elected Board of Directors led by President Dann Boyer (Director of Facilities Operations, Sturdy Memorial Hospital).

Regional players

• International Association of Healthcare Central Service Materiel Management (IAHCSMM): A national professional association for healthcare sterile processing and materials management professionals. It serves a different but adjacent healthcare support discipline within the same hospital environment, making it comparable as a parallel healthcare professional society rather than a direct competitor.

Others

• MFM (Medical Facilities Magazine): A trade publication covering medical facility design, construction, and operations. It serves a similar healthcare facility professional readership and runs adjacent content to NEHES's educational programming, making it a comparable adjacent media peer.
• Healthcare Engineering (ASPE-affiliated engineering community): A national community and resource hub for healthcare facility engineering professionals, overlapping with NEHES's audience on education and best-practice sharing. Comparable as a peer community but with a national rather than regional focus.
• Healthcare Facilities Management Magazine (HFMM): The flagship trade publication covering healthcare facility management, frequently cited on NEHES's news feed. It is an adjacent media and information provider serving the same healthcare facility professional audience, making it comparable as a content/community touchpoint rather than a direct association competitor.
• National Fire Protection Association (NFPA): A standards-setting body whose Life Safety Code and Health Care Facilities Code directly shape the regulatory environment for NEHES members. NFPA shares weekly technical updates with NEHES, making it a comparable content partner for healthcare facility professionals but not a competing association.

Broad incumbents

• American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE): The national professional society for healthcare facility professionals, of which NEHES is a regional affiliated chapter. ASHE provides the certification framework (CHFM, CHC), national advocacy, and the broader content library that NEHES members access, making it the direct upstream umbrella organization and the most natural comparison point.
• American Hospital Association (AHA): The parent organization of ASHE and the national hospital industry trade association. AHA provides the institutional and policy framework under which NEHES-affiliated facility professionals operate, and is comparable as the broader umbrella entity whose healthcare policy and advocacy footprint frames NEHES's regional mission.
