Advocate For Our Profession

On March 17th and 18th, I, along with Robin Ingalls-Fitzgerald, will be attending the Advocacy Summit to meet with our state and national representatives to discuss key legislative actions that impact our profession and the future of patient data security.

We urge you to take action supporting these measures. You can easily advocate by sending a pre-written letter to your representatives via this link: Advocacy – Take Action | AHIMA. The letters are already prepared for you, and with just a few clicks, you can send your message of support directly to those in positions of power.

The issues we are raising are crucial to protecting both the privacy of patient information and the jobs of those who are dedicated to maintaining its security. Robin and I look forward to speaking with our representatives on March 17th and 18th and hope that we can count on your support as we work to advance these important initiatives.

Thank you for your time and attention to these critical matters. Your support will help ensure the continued security and integrity of healthcare data and the professionals who are dedicated to managing it.
