Welcome to the McMahon-Illini Chapter HFMA Website!
As we enter another new year for the McMahon-Illini
Chapter HFMA, Cathy Jacobson, our National President has picked
an appropriate theme for 2009/2010. “Making it Count” is as
important as ever in this fast paced world of healthcare, where
we’ve seen jobs disappear (even in Finance), mergers and
acquisitions constantly in the news(even in hospitals), and
whole market places disappear (variable rate securities
auctions).
In times like these it is imperative to one’s career of making
it count when networking with peers, staying updated and
educated on current issues in the industry. The Officers and
Board of the McMahon-Illini Chapter are dedicating this year to
providing the membership with quality education and valuable
networking opportunities to further their careers. We are
constantly striving to improve the content of our programs and
our leadership team has already been planning some exciting
changes in response to member feedback. In addition, the chapter
also hopes to expand on our free webinar offerings to add value
to your membership while increasing your educational
possibilities at a time when hospital and personal budgets are
being stretched very thin.
Volunteering is a great way to make it count in our chapter. We
have various chapter committees that are always looking for
volunteers to help out. Volunteering is a wonderful way to make
new friends and network with peers. The relationships
established can last a lifetime. The value of being able to pick
up the phone or email peers with a question is priceless. The
help one can give and receive from peers in job placement is
beyond priceless, for both the giver and receiver.
Get certified! Certification is a great way to stay
current and also further your career. Having the CHFP or FHFMA
initials after your name are essential if you aspire to a Senior
Executive Position in the healthcare marketplace. These initials
say something about the work ethic and leadership capabilities
of the candidate when evaluating candidates.
Make a pledge to make it count for you, your facility
and your fellow members this year!
