Volunteer to join an ASPHP committee
The Association of Safe Patient Handling Professionals’ mission is to advance the science and practice of safe patient handling and mobility by empowering caregivers and their patients to maximize their well-being and quality of life.
To pursue that mission, the association is organized by various committees comprised of member volunteers. Learn more about the various committees and consider volunteering to share your knowledge and experience with one.
The benefits include actively advancing the association’s mission, collaborating with fellow safe patient-handling and mobility professionals, and developing yourself professionally.
