President’s Welcome

Dear CT HFMA Members,

It is an honor to serve as your Chapter Year 2023-2024 President. Thank you for electing me. I joined HFMA over 15 years ago, and it was one of the best decisions I have made in my career.

It seems like yesterday, Immediate Past-President, Matt Schuster and I walked into Norwalk Hospital to meet with Joe Pajor. Joe was the Administrative Director of Revenue Cycle and the President-elect for the Connecticut Chapter. Matt and I were interested in getting more involved and wanted to learn how. That began my volunteerism with HFMA, being asked to help to plan an educational event (or, as many of us lovingly refer to it, being ‘voluntold’).

Since then, I have served in all the leadership roles in the Connecticut Chapter, planned educational programming, run the Social Committee, served on the National Advisory Committee, and now will hold the chapter Presidency for a second time. Each and every one of those memories brought me connections I could not have imagined, and I smile every time I think about them. I was able to talk with professionals in a relaxed and supportive environment that enabled me to learn and gain a deeper appreciation for the diversity of the healthcare industry that would shape my career.

Looking back, I know that I could not be where I am in my career without HFMA. The lifelong friendships and sense of community at the local, regional, and national levels are at the core of the organization. This network connects us as healthcare leaders and individuals, so I urge you to get involved.

To quote Dennis Dahlen, the HFMA National Chair 2023-2024, in his theme for the year, “It’s Time!” This call to action has a sense of urgency, power, and resolve that resonates with me in this post-pandemic world, and I hope it will speak to you as well. You will not be disappointed!

You can start small. Join a committee, help out at an event, contribute to the Chapter Resource Guide, or attend a social gathering. I invite you to contact me directly – [email protected]. I would eagerly speak with you, learn about your goals, share my experience volunteering with HFMA, and introduce you to a network of individuals that will enable you to achieve them.

Are you ready to join us? IT’S TIME!!!

Sincerely,

Susan Prior, CHC
CT HFMA President, 2016-2017 and 2023-2024
