Newsletter - April 2020

A Note from your​
CMSA President

              Hello everyone, I hope this finds you all in good health and taking care of yourself and your families. This time has been very stressful and we are still not sure when it may end or what each day brings. I have been so pleased with the community support for all of the  healthcare providers  that keeps our patients cared for.  I want to highlight Amedisys Home Health for the posters they posted at Centennial Medical Center that was encouraging to all of the staff as we entered the building. As an HCA Tri-Star Case Manager I am especially proud of the caring and diligence of the staff at my hospital for the care they provide for patients and the support for each other. I also want to thank the community for their support and acknowledgment of the other essential staff at grocery stores, trucking, and food service and how important they are to all of us.
                Because of continued restrictions we will NOT be having a lunch and learn in April. With God’s blessings we will have one in May. And it will be wonderful to see everyone again. We will keep you posted. I want to add that at this time National CMSA is still planning the yearly education June 28-July 2, 2020 celebrating 30 years of Care Transitions Across the Full Continuum. They have extended the early bird registration.
                I have good news that we have two new board members that have joined us and when we meet again they will be introduced.
Until we meet again may God bless you all and keep you and yours safe.

Kathern Demicell, RNCCM
President of CMSA Middle Tennessee Chapter

The CMSA Lunch & Learn for April has been canceled due to restrictions for outside visitors/vendors to HCA facilities.

We hope to be able to resume in May.
