Perfusion Week
May 1-7, 2025
Recognizing the Heart of Patient Care
Perfusion Week is an opportunity to highlight the vital role perfusionists play in cardiovascular care. Every day, perfusionists contribute to life-saving procedures, advancing both patient outcomes and the profession itself. This week, we celebrate your dedication, expertise, and the impact you make.
Join the celebration by sharing your experiences, team activities, and stories on social media. Connect with us on X (@amsectperfusion), Facebook (@AmSECT), LinkedIn (@AmSECT), and Instagram (@amsectperfusion), or email us at amsect@amsect.org. Don’t forget to use #PerfusionWeek for a chance to be featured!
