Hawaii Chapter

President’s Welcome

Aloha Kakou!

What an amazing HFMA year it has been so far! I can’t believe how quickly the year is flying by. The HFMA Hawaii chapter has been busy with lots of activities for our members.

We kicked off the year with our first networking event, where members, business partners, and participants from other chapters in Region 11 came together to “talk story” and enjoy each other’s company.

We also hosted a free webinar, Mastering Denial Management: The AI Edge in Revenue Integrity, which was led by one of our chapter sponsors, Infinx.

In October, Hawaii and Oregon teamed up to host a virtual Women’s and Allies Conference, which was a huge success! A big shout-out to Oregon’s president, Evan Martin, for collaborating with us.

November saw the launch of our first in-person educational event, the Hawaii HFMA 2025 Revenue Cycle Seminar at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. It was an event full of fantastic educational sessions and networking opportunities.

This past January, our board members attended the Western Region Symposium (WRS) in Las Vegas! The Hawaii chapter will be co-hosting the 2027 WRS with New Mexico, so we took this opportunity to shadow the Washington/Alaska chapter to learn as much as we could and be fully prepared for next year. This year’s WRS had over 1,020 attendees, and we’re excited to increase that number next year.

We also produced two podcasts and two newsletters for our members. You can find them in the About Hawaii section of our site.

And there’s still so much more to come! Our winter networking event, community service activity, more podcasts, newsletters, and our annual conference are all on the horizon. Please check the Hawaii In-Person Events tab for more information. We hope you can join us!

All of these amazing events are made possible by our incredible Hawaii Chapter Board of Directors. I am honored to be part of such a dynamic group of talented, kind, respectful, and passionate professionals who understand the importance of collaboration and embrace the spirit of aloha. The Hawaii Chapter Board of Directors is committed to providing our members with the tools and opportunities to grow and thrive in the ever-changing world of healthcare finance. Whether it’s offering quality education here in the islands, sharing knowledge from a nationwide organization, providing updates on current events impacting healthcare, networking with colleagues to share experiences and best practices, or giving back to our communities, your Board of Directors is here for you.

We encourage you to engage and stand with us on this journey! Take the step to participate in webinars, share feedback via calls or emails, attend networking events, meet others who do similar work, attend conferences, or volunteer at our community service events. Your involvement is what gives us the unity and strength to make our chapter successful. I Kū Mau Mau!

A big MAHALO to our chapter sponsors. Your support provides our members with opportunities for professional development and meaningful connections.

With warm Aloha,
Tammy Dumlao
Hawaii Chapter President 2025-2026
