Carolina Perfusion Symposium

The Carolina perfusion symposium which is hosted by both PerfusionLife and the Palmetto State Perfusion Society, enjoyed a fantastic convention this year with 88 perfusionists and over 20 vendors. PerfusionLife’s own Ken Ingersoll presided over the meeting as president of the Palmetto State Perfusion Society. Together, they procured an exciting line up of speakers covering a wide array of intriguing topics.
Family and friends also enjoyed the hotel amenities as well as planned activities for children, such as face painting, art projects, and a magician.

Joint Commission Accreditation

With this accomplishment, we are also excited to inform you about several changes to our credentialing process. As part of our continuous improvement efforts, we have refined and enhanced our credentialing procedures to maintain the highest level of safety and excellence.

Several of the changes you can expect to see include:

1. Perfusion Life specific HIPAA and OSHA trainings (rolled out in January 2023)
2. Annual TB testing for active Perfusion Life perfusionists
3. American Heart Association BLS training (CPR and alternative trainings will not be accepted)
4. Continued implementation of internal processes to make the credentialing process as streamlined and convenient as possible.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each one of you for your ongoing support, which has played an instrumental role in helping us reach this remarkable milestone. As we embark on this new chapter, we remain dedicated to fostering an environment of excellence, innovation, and patient-centered care. Thank you for being a part of our journey towards achieving and maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety. Here’s to a future filled with continued growth and success together!
