Member Engagement Award Program
Each year, we want to recognize those members whose contributions over the past chapter year have made a lasting impact on our healthcare community.
Select an award below for more information:
The Founders Medal of Honor was added in 1986 and is conferred by nomination of the Chapter Board of Directors. This prestigious award recognizes an individual who has been actively involved in HFMA for at least three years after earning the Muncie Gold Award, has provided significant service at the chapter, regional and/or national level in at least two of those years, and remains a member in good standing. A chapter may nominate members for this award at any time during the year.
