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.
