ANI: the Healthcare Finance Conference: June 26-30 program guide

Healthcare Financial Management, June, 2005

CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

Welcome to ANI!

Dear friends:

One of the things I like most about the healthcare field is its unpredictability: Health care continues to change, evolve, challenge us, and provide opportunities. That unpredictability can keep us engaged and sharp.

You don't always know what's coming, but you can be ready as opportunity comes along.

This year's Annual National Institute is one way we can stay ready to take advantage of the opportunities that come our way. This conference also provides a great chance to recharge--to get reenergized and to go back to your offices excited about the work that you do.

ANI gives you an opportunity to:

* Get tools and ideas you need to achieve outstanding financial and operational results during breakout sessions, preconference programs, and more

* Network with your colleagues at a variety of events, including the Sunday Opening Reception and Annual Chairman's Reception and Banquet

* Share your experiences with other healthcare financial professionals

* Unwind by taking in a show, enjoying a great meal, or doing some shopping

You should also know that HFMA offers a lot of other opportunities like these throughout the year--chances to build your skills and knowledge and network with your healthcare finance colleagues. If you belong to HFMA, you owe it to yourself to get more involved with your professional association.

I hope you have an enjoyable and productive ANI.

Sincerely,

Richard Rodriguez

Chairman, HFMA
