Welcome to the Maryland Chapter of HFMA Website!

Welcome to the new Maryland Chapter HFMA website.  This website is designed to help you maximize your membership in both the Maryland Chapter and National HFMA.  Please view this website as a tool to obtain the latest information on upcoming chapter events and news.  The website provides a list of our chapter leaders, committees and bylaws.  Additionally, this website serves as a link to National HFMA “knowledge center”, education and events, which provide access to a wealth of information as part of your membership.  

Please note our website lists the organizations that sponsor many of our educational events.  Their generous donations have enabled our chapter to provide high quality educational programs at reasonable costs.  Please thank them and let them know how much you enjoy the opportunity our educational events present.

From a National perspective, our HFMA National Chair for 2011-2012 is Greg Adams whose theme this year is “Believe to Achieve”.  In describing the theme, he encourages “healthcare finance professionals to believe in themselves, the mission of their organizations, and the possibility of a better future for the industry.”  His theme as HFMA Chair has four key elements:

Believe in your mission. Believing in an organization’s mission means remembering why healthcare finance professionals do what they do, and knowing that their individual roles—though they may be behind the scenes—are integral to the successful achievement of that mission.

Believe in each other. Just like in sports, behind every accomplishment, every “winning basket,” there is someone who has “passed the ball”—someone whose performance was integral to the accomplishment and who reminds us that accomplishments are never the work of one person, but always the work of a team.

Believe in yourself. Healthcare finance professionals need confidence in their ability to step out of their comfort zones into new roles and responsibilities. High-functioning leaders and teams are willing to try difficult things and willing to learn from their mistakes.

Believe in the possibility of a better future. Healthcare finance professionals can choose to believe that a better future is within reach, and to dedicate their professional lives to making that happen.

 Throughout the year, I encourage you to review our website for exciting educational and social opportunities coming up this year.  Our board and committees are actively working to make our chapter one of the best in the nation.  I invite you to Believe to Achieve with me and accelerate your career by believing in our mission, believing in each other, believing in yourself, and believing in the possibility of a better future and becoming involved in our chapter committees whether your interest lies in certification, membership, programming, newsletter, social committee, community service, or the website.  HFMA membership provides cost effective education programs, networking opportunities, and the ability to work with your colleagues in the industry on a collaborative basis.

Thank you for being a guest at our website; we hope you find it useful.  Please feel free to provide recommendations for its enhancement and how we can improve your on-line experience.
