Hello to all NJAAHAM Members!

I can't believe we are saying good bye to October already and are rolling into the holiday season!  What a crazy Septemer and October it was weather wise around the country with the hurricanes and fires.  Our hearts and well wishes go out to everyone who has been affected. 

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to attend the National AAHAM ANI in Nashville, Tennessee on October 18th - 20th!  It was a great event with amazing speakers.  Please log onto the National Website to view pictures and updates from the event.  I am proud to announce that our NJ Chapter was presented with the "Carolyn Gostomski Membership Achievment Award" which is in recognition of the Chapter's efforts to maintain and increase national membership.

As I mentioned in the last newsletter, this year the NJ Chapter in conjunction with all the AAHAM Chapters will be promoting student membership in AAHAM on both the local and national level.  NJ AAHAM will be offering free local membership for students who express an interest in a healthcare related career.  We will be forming a committee designed specifically to focus on this initiative.  Please be on the lookout for more details coming out in the new year.  If you would like to be part of this committee or have any suggestions in promoting student membership please feel free to contact me directly.

Please mark your calendars for our upcoming evenets.  November 7th we are holding a "Lunch n' Learn"  afternoon meeting at the Double Tree Hilton Hotel in Eatontown/Tinton Falls.  December 7th we are having our Holiday Cocktail Meeting from 4-8pm at the Sheraton Hotel in Eatontown.  Hope to see everyone there!

I would also like to thank our 2017 Corporate Sponsors for all of their support.  It is becaue of them that we are able to continue to have these meeting and events.

NJAAHAM 1st Quarterly Newsletter / President's Message

Salutations New Jersey AAHAM Members!

I hope everyone is having a great summer so far!

I would like to welcome you all to our first publication of the NJAAHAM quarterly news letter.  Along with our chapter website at www.njaaham.com ; this newsletter will provide local and national Updates and events. 

I was once again fortunate enough to be able to attend the “Legislative Day on Capitol Hill” which took place May 1st and 2nd. I was joined by Jose Guevarrez from the Georgia Chapter, Paul Fitzpatrick and Nikki Bishop from the Maine Chapter and my fellow NJ Constituent, Marco Coello along with 85 other AAHAM members across the country. We met with both our Senators and Congressman’s office staff from Senator Cory Booker; Senator Bob Menendez, Representatives Rodney Frelinghuysen and Representative Tom Mac Arthur. This year’s topic was Observation Stay; improving access to the Medicare Coverage Act of 2017. This topic has broad bi-partisan support in both the Senate and the House and since our event on Capitol Hill; our national office has advised us that several new lawmakers have signed on and are now supporting this bill which is currently pending with Congress. 

I was informed during our board meeting while down in D.C. of some new exciting national updates. All certification webinars will be free during 2017 in an effort to encourage both new and current members seeking their certification. The second update is the announcement that starting this year there will be FREE membership for all full-time students. National AAHAM executives have stated that they have contracted with a firm who will be responsible to educate both Universities and Colleges across the U.S. on what AAHAM is all about and help sign up those students who express an interest in AAHAM. As a local chapter I would like for all us to support this initiative. Please contact me with any thoughts and ideas to obtain student membership within our local chapter. 

Have a safe, healthy and happy Summer and I look forward to seeing you all soon!
