One way to do this in MeterorJS 1.3.x

Add the JS files in the public\js\ directory

Load it up from Meteor.startup method using $.getScript in client/main.js If you want to control script load sequence, control with multiple $.getScript for each js files.

Meteor.startup(function(){
    $.getScript('js/fhir-client.js', function(){
        // script should be loaded and do something with it. 

    });
});
