A Note from your CMSA President

As some of you may know our web site was down for a bit, but it is as you can see back up and running. Thank you for your patience.

October 7-13, 2018 was Case Management week. I know you all thanked your Case Managers for all of the work they do to provide continuity of care, resources, and advocacy of their patients. We plan to still celebrate our Case Managers at the next Lunch and Learn October 17th.  I also urge you to check out the CMSA.org website to see everything that is offered to those that become members. I have been a Case Manager since the 90s and have found it to be the most rewarding path that I have taken in my nursing career. I think that is the consensus of most Case Managers.

​To all of the Case Managers in various positons I thank you for all of your expertise, compassion, and comradery.
               
I will see you at our next lunch and learn.

Kathern Demicell, RNCCM

A Note from your
​CMSA President

              Welcome back everyone. It appears the National CMSA Conference in Chicago was a great success with many participants. Next year it is in Las Vegas so start thinking about attending or being a sponsor with a booth. The conference information is on the website CMSA.org. Don’t forget you can become a member by accessing the same website.
                I want to welcome our two new board members; Stephanie Bowker with Amedisys Home Health and  Jennifer Thompson with Home Care Assistance of Nashville. I and the other board members are very excited to have new members. If anyone is interested you can contact me at Kathern.Demicell@hcahealthcare.com.
                Our lunch and learn calendar is looking pretty good for the rest of the year but we may still have some openings. If you are interested please contact Elizabeth McAllister @egravesmca@comcast.net.
Thank you for all of your support and I will see you Wednesday

There will be no meeting this month due to the possibility of severe weather.
​See you in February!
A Note from your
CMSA President

     Happy January. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year celebration. As most of you know we did not have our monthly lunch and learn in December because of the holiday. We were ready to go for January but January’s weather always plays tricks with us, as a result  we will not be having our meeting for January. So we will be anxious to see everyone in February.
     This is the beginning of a new  year and our chapter loves our vendors that are sponsors and our individual members but would love to see more of you become part of our fantastic organization. It is easy to become an individual member by going to CMSA.org and can apply and even make payments on the membership. We can send sponsor packets to anyone interested by contacting, Kathern.Demicell@hcahealthcare.com or Elizabeth McAllister at egravesmca@comcast.net. There are always packets at our lunch and learns as well. I would love to see our chapter continue to grow and thank you all in advance for your support.
