We look forward to offering you innovative education and networking opportunities that will help you stay up-to-date in credentialing, privileging, provider enrollment, and other medical staff related matters. We try to include topics of interest to all members. If you have any topics that you would like to see presented, or presenters that you would like to hear more from, please feel free to let me know. It would also be very helpful if you are able to host us at your facility for one of our meetings.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to any of us for questions or concerns. I look forward to working with all of you and getting to know you better during my term.
It is an honor and privilege to serve as your President for the next two years!
