HealthPack 2008 coming to San Antonio

Attending the yearly HealthPack conference is an important educational opportunity for the medical device community, agree John Spitzley (shown in photo) and Curt Larsen, the event's co-chairmen who developed the agenda for the March 4 – 6 event at the Sheraton Gunter Hotel in San Antonio. "At HealthPack 2008, the keynote speaker will be Mary Jo Steiert, president of AORN, the Assn. of periOperative Registered Nurses," says Larsen.

Steiert will address her membership's needs, issues, and requirements for medical device packaging, including safety and sterility considerations, packaging efficacy in operating room (OR) and emergency situations, and package integration in the OR.

Larsen says that HealthPack 2008 attendees will be presented with the results of a custom research survey sent to thousands of AORN members and Institute of Packaging Professionals Medical Device Packaging Technical Committee members.

Adds Spitzley, "This is going to be the perfect opportunity for attendees to hear the voice of the customer using a controlled, scientific approach. We think the survey results are going to be pretty eye-opening."

HealthPack was developed in 1991 and is dedicated to creating a forum for ideas and solutions to help medical device professionals create innovative and efficient packaging. The event includes a two-day conference agenda as well as tabletop exhibits. The conference agenda is available online.
