WHEA HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING PIONEER AWARD

In 2003 the WHEA Board of Directors created the The WHEA Healthcare Engineering Pioneer award to recognize individuals in our state who have made a significant contribution, through personal or professional initiatives, to promote health care facilities management.  This recognition was created to differentiate between those who have made significant contributions to the profession of health care facilities management (the Pioneer Award,) vs. those who have made significant contributions to WHEA as an organization (the Founders Award.)  In 2010 the state board voted to name this award the Robert H. Botts Healthcare Engineering Pioneer award in recognition of the last of our original founding fathers who passed away earlier that year.
