A Note from your
​CMSA President

     Happy Pre-Valentine’s Day, Washington’s Birthday, President’s Day, and Lincoln’s Birthday. The month of February is also American Heart month, be sure to take good care of your heart. Don’t forget February is also Black History month to which NPT has been showing very interesting documentaries. A lot going on in February.
        On a different note; be sure to check out the National CMSA website @ CMSA.org. You will find many opportunities for education and events, such as; A seminar entitled Safer Transitions, Fewer Re-Hospitalizations with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and the National 27th CMSA Conference in Austin Texas is June 26-30,2017.  Good reasons to become a member of CMSA. CMSA has 35,000 members and 75 local chapters. A wealth or resources. The cost is $170 for national and $20 for local to which can be made in  payments. We are also always encouraging vendors to become sponsors, your support is priceless.
