Alex J. McFadden lost his short but courageous battle with cancer on March 29, 2012. Alex served many roles in the WV Chapter and HFMA National. He served as WV Chapter President 2005-2006 and then went on to serve as the Regional Executive in Region IV. Alex also served on the Chapter Advancement Team for National HFMA. In the weeks before his passing, he was appointed to a National Board position on the National Advisory Council.

Alex was the recipient of different WV Chapter awards including the Walter R. Mitchell, Jr Award in 1999 and Speaker of the Year in 1998 and then again in 2001. He was also active on many different committees within the chapter.

Alex never knew a stranger and all who had the opportunity to meet him have fond memories of him and especially his laughter will never be forgotten.

To memorialize Alex for his years of faithful and dedicated service to the WV Chapter, the Board of Directors will present the award to a Chapter member (doesn’t have to be an officer) for their outstanding support and participation in the activities, goals and achievements of the chapter, other professional organizations, their employer and community service and exemplifies “Believe to Achieve.”

The award was named for Frederick C. Morgan, who joined the Association in 1948. His outstanding efforts included a six-year tenure as a volunteer secretary-treasurer. The Morgan Award is the most prestigious individual award given by HFMA and is designed to encourage the spirit of service to the principles of the Association as fostered by Morgan himself. Morgan retired from healthcare in 1965 and died in Rochester, N.Y., in 1985. HFMA members and chapters may submit nominations, which are reviewed by a committee..

2011 – Robert D. Miller, FHFMA 

Chicago – May 5, 2011 – The Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) will award Robert D. Miller, FHFMA, the 2011 Frederick C. Morgan Achievement Award-the Association’s highest individual honor. He will be the 53rd recipient of this prestigious award that honors career-long contributions to healthcare financial management and HFMA.

Miller has, been a member of HFMA since 1984. He spent his first years of membership in the West Virginia Chapter, where he became involved and assumed the duties of chapter president by 1993. He served as a regional executive, worked on several task forces, offices and committees, and served on the HFMA National Board from 1995 to 1997. Miller won the HFMA Founders Medal of Honor Award in 1998 and is a recipient of other West Virginia Chapter and national HFMA awards.

With his move to Coshocton in 2002, Miller joined the Central Ohio Chapter and has been a key adviser in chapter reorganization, board member, membership chair, rural council chair and twice was a delegate in the US/UK HFMA Exchange. Miller was this year’s winner of the Central Ohio Chapter George M. Gevas President’s award.

“Bob Miller’s enthusiasm for, and dedication to, HFMA is legendary,” says Jen Fannin, Executive Director of American Red Cross of Ohio Hills. “It has been clearly demonstrated through the positions of leadership he has held in various state HFMA chapters, and HFMA National. The recognition of his exceptional leadership skills is evident when one reviews the numerous awards which have been bestowed on Bob throughout his career; however, the positions and awards mentioned above are only a small part of what truly makes Bob Miller worthy of the Fredrick C. Morgan Award.”
