Welcome to the Southern Illinois website for 2011-2012.
It is a very exciting time for our chapter and I am honored to be the part of it as our Chapter President. Joining our team of leadership are Jennifer Venable, President Elect, Greg Wright, Vice President, Tim Herberts, Treasurer and John Majchrzak, Secretary. Our Board Members this year are Kathy Adams, Lisa Pulley, LuAnne Rendleman, Jennifer Durham, Mike Hobbs and Tere Wisniewski. The dedicated Officers and Board of Directors as well as our great group of volunteers, intend on making this a great year for the chapter!
Greg Wright led our annual planning meeting in May which brought about some great ideas for the programs scheduled throughout the year. Our first official meeting for 2011-2012 is scheduled for August 18th at SIH in Carbondale. I look forward to seeing everyone at the meeting.
The Committees have been hard at work to bring you a fantastic Southern Illinois HFMA year! Please take the time to get involved and get the most out of your membership. The chapter is only as strong as its members.
HFMA's theme this year is Believe to Achieve. Believe in your mission, Believe in each other, and Believe in the possibility of a better future. Your beliefs guide you every day. They influence your actions, your decisions, and your attitude toward yourself and others. Together Everyone Achieves More. By choosing to believe that, together, we can solve the problems that have challenged our industry for so long; we can find a place for ourselves and our organizations in the new reform environment and help shape the future of American health care.
Examples of "believe to achieve" are everywhere in health care today:
•· Physicians, other clinicians, and administrators teaming up to help patients avoid unnecessary hospitalizations and to make healthcare encounters safer than ever before
•· Providers and payers collaborating to ensure appropriate health services are provided at the right time, in the right place, at the right cost
•· Physicians and hospitals developing new ways of working together for the benefit of the patients they serve
•· All healthcare stakeholders joining forces to implement the most far-reaching healthcare legislation in U.S. history.
Please visit our Education & Events section of the website to view scheduled webinars free to members throughout the year.
We will work together to make this a great year. Thank you for visiting the website.
