FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Ralph Basile Awarded Spirit of AAMI Award
Fraser, MI, June 6, 2023 – The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) has announced Ralph Basile as this year’s recipient of the Spirit of AAMI Award.
Each year, AAMI recognizes health technology’s best and brightest for their leadership, dedication, and contributions to AAMI and their fields.
The Spirit of AAMI Award recognizes the outstanding contributions of an AAMI member in volunteer efforts within the association. Basile has a record of more than 20 years of volunteer service, including his current roles as vice chair of sterilization on the AAMI Board of Directors and chair of the AAMI Committee on Standards Strategy. He has led many efforts to develop international standards and technical information reports and shared his knowledge in numerous articles and presentations. AAMI selected him for a Standards Developer Award in 2021.
“Frankly, it is unreal to me” to win this award, Basile said. “There are so many great participants in the AAMI community that contribute so much. I am shocked, humbled, and thrilled to be receiving the Spirit of AAMI Award.”
He offered this advice to the AAMI community: “Get involved in standards in your early 30s. Don’t wait until your 40s.”
The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) proudly announces AAMI Awards for a remarkable group of individuals and teams from the health technology community. Winners of the 2023 awards will receive a monetary prize, a plaque commemorating their achievements, and recognition at the 2023 AAMI eXchange in June in Long Beach, CA.
