Compass was created in 2011 by WBRC, a Maine-based architecture and engineering firm that focuses on healthcare facilities. Compass has since taken on a life of its own, with attendees and exhibitors helping to shape its evolution. In recent years, Compass has the honor of hosting the September meeting of MEHES, the Maine Healthcare Engineers’ Society. The event is funded by exhibitors and sponsors and has always been free to healthcare professionals.
