🎉 What a night!

The HTMA-NTX HTM Week Fiesta was a huge success!

Thank you to everyone who came out to Mexican Sugar in Las Colinas and helped make this one of the best HTM Week celebrations we’ve had in North Texas!

It was fantastic seeing so many biomeds, clinical engineers, HTM professionals, and friends from across the DFW Metroplex in one room.

The energy was high, the conversations were meaningful, and the fiesta vibes were strong 🌮✨

A big thank you to:
• Everyone who attended and brought their teams
• Our new HTMA-NTX leadership team (William Axon, Jai Patel, CHTM, CBET Timothy Wicker, Webb Clark, Rachel Anthony, Guillermo Diaz, CBET, Damion McKinzie, Jamal Guio, Andrew McKelroy, CBET, CHTM, CRES, Joseph Daniel Irving, Ryan Hobley, CBET, Jake Powell, Wendy solis, Mary Ashton Furrh) — excited for what’s ahead!
• Prescott's Med for co-sponsoring and supporting the event
• The amazing staff at Mexican Sugar for taking great care of us
We wrapped up the right way — connecting, celebrating, and strengthening our North Texas HTM community.
