Iowa Volunteer Award

Iowa HFMA Volunteer of the Year

The “Iowa HFMA Volunteer of the Year” was created in 2020 in appreciation of those members, who over their careers, have dedicated years of volunteer service to the Iowa Chapter of Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA). HFMA is an organization built on volunteers whose continual dedication is the cornerstone of the success of this organization.   This award is symbolic of the service that the recipient so generously gave to Iowa HFMA– service that reaches above and beyond expectations.  The “Iowa HFMA Volunteer of the Year” started a new tradition at Iowa HFMA of recognizing those individuals associated with Iowa HFMA who display sustained commitment and dedication to the organization.
