March 2023 President’s Message

Fellow HFMA Lone Star Members,
Buenos Dias from the Riviera Maya, Mexico. I’m finally getting some quality time with my family. Our Program Committee did a fabulous job in executing the Winter Conference on February 16 – 17th. I want to thank the Program Committee, with the leadership of Antoinette Washington & Dawn Coats. In addition to the general sessions, the Committee hosted “Building & Sustaining a Cohesive Revenue Cycle”, “Transition to Leadership”, “Graduate Medical Education”, & “ACO: Value-Based Care” Provider Panels. Between In-person & Virtual, a total of 191 registrants participated in the conference. Finally, with the generosity of the attendees, pet supplies were collected and $1,500 was donated to the SPCA of Texas.
