ANN ARBOR -- Raleigh, N.C.-based Compliant Healthcare Technologies LLC Tuesday announced the opening of a regional office in Ann Arbor with four new employees.

The office is located in the Ann Arbor Commerce Park at 1050 Highland Drive.

CHT partners with health care facilities to help achieve medical piped gas systems compliance, provides environmental monitoring services, and offers ASSE training certification courses.

CHT officials said the company chose Ann Arbor as an expansion location because of the concentration of healthcare facilities in and around Ann Arbor. CHT employs nearly 50 people, with plans of increased personnel as the customer base expands.

Compliant Healthcare Technologies LLC was founded in 2006 with a desire to take medical piped gas systems evaluations, maintenance and compliance to a new level.

Through the use of a unique and comprehensive patent-pending software and service, the CHxProgram, health care facilities have the ability to evaluate the current status of their medical piped gas systems from source equipment to patient terminal, at any time.
