“While I’m proud of the membership growth, I’m even more proud that we’re building meaningful connections with our members and retaining them,” Casey said. “HFMA resources and tools are becoming a part of the culture at member organizations, and we’re even getting reports of significantly improved employee retention among Enterprise members.”
Likewise, HFMA education and certifications are becoming a vital part of career paths.
