President’s Welcome
Dear Members and Friends,
It is my honor to represent the HFMA Southwest Ohio Chapter for FY26–27, and I look forward to connecting with each of you in the year ahead.
Our industry is evolving at a pace we have never experienced. All of us embracing it at our own pace. That is why I invite every member of our chapter to bring forward your ideas, your solutions, and your vision for what healthcare finance can become. Whether you are new to the profession or have decades of experience, your perspective adds value. When we share openly and collaborate across experience levels, disciplines, and backgrounds, we elevate not only our chapter but our profession. Together, we become better leaders, better partners, and better advocates for the communities we serve.
I encourage our emerging leaders to step forward, get involved, and take full advantage of the opportunities HFMA provides—whether through education, networking, mentorship, or chapter leadership. Your voice matters, your ideas matter, and your participation strengthens our entire chapter. When early careerists engage, we all benefit we gain new viewpoints, fresh momentum, and a stronger, more vibrant professional community.
As we look ahead, let us create an environment where early careerists feel empowered, seasoned professionals feel appreciated, and every member feels connected to a shared purpose. Our strength lies in our collective commitment to learning, growing, and leading with integrity.
I want to extend my sincere appreciation to Sommer Bockerstette for her exceptional leadership and my gratitude to our chapter leaders and volunteers for an outstanding 2025-2026. I especially want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our volunteers—because truly, nothing we do is possible without you. Your time, your passion, and your willingness to step forward are the backbone of our chapter.
I also want to express deep appreciation to our sponsors, whose partnership makes it possible for us to deliver the exceptional education, resources, and networking opportunities our members rely on. We are grateful for your continued collaboration and support.
I look forward to serving alongside you, learning from you, and building a chapter that reflects the very best of who we are and the promise of what we can become. Together, we will continue to elevate our profession, support one another, and make a meaningful impact on the healthcare systems and communities we serve.
To a great year!
