Hello NCHIMA Members,
I hope you’re having a great August!
A quick reminder that registration is open for the 2026 NCHIMA Annual Meeting at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort in beautiful Cherokee, North Carolina. We are especially excited to welcome David Cella, AHIMA’s new CEO, as one of our featured speakers. If you plan to attend, don’t wait to book your hotel room. The group rate expires August 19, so reserve your room today.
I’d also like to extend a warm welcome to all the new and returning Health Information students beginning classes this week. We wish you a successful semester and look forward to the contributions you will make to the health information profession.
As we plan educational opportunities for the coming year, we’d love to hear from you. What topics would you like NCHIMA to explore through webinars, workshops, or conference sessions? Whether it’s AI, leadership, privacy and security, revenue cycle, CDI, coding, education, or another area of interest, please feel free to reach out and share your ideas at info@nchima.org.
Be sure to save the date for the 2nd Annual Charting the East event on November 13 in Greenville, NC. More details will be coming soon, but we hope you’ll mark your calendar now for another fantastic opportunity to connect and learn with your HIM colleagues.
Finally, if you have not already joined, be sure to join the AHIMA HI-FIVE Community to stay connected with events, engage with experts, and keep up with other AHIMA members. Learn more HERE.
Thank you for being a valued member of NCHIMA. We look forward to seeing you in Cherokee!
Warm regards,
Ashleigh Walker
NCHIMA President
