Reader poll

Healthcare Financial Management, Feb, 2006 by Cris Julian

Each month in Etcetera, hfm will pose a question to readers. Responses will be included in the following issue of the magazine.

This month's question was, "Would you recommend a career in healthcare finance to your children? Why or why not?" The following answer is representative of the responses:

"I would recommend a career in healthcare finance to my children. Healthcare finance is a very challenging and changing environment that will keep you on your toes, Health care will always be needed, and healthcare finance, I believe, will continue to have its own challenges."

--Cris Julian, CFO, Community Health Center of Southeastern Iowa, Inc.

Next month's question is: "As a CFO, how do you balance the commitments of work and family?"
