A Note from your
CMSA Mid-TN President

Happy May to all. It is so nice to see sunshine and flowers again. I am looking forward to seeing you all at our next lunch and learn. Don’t forget we will not be having one in June because I will be at the National CMSA conference. I am pleased that so many have shown an interest in becoming or renewing their sponsorship. Thank you to all of our sponsors and members, you are the heart of our chapter.
        If there is anyone interested in becoming a board member please contact me at Kathern.demicell@hcahealthcare.com and I will forward an application. Nurses are especially welcomed.
