Keeping Current

     This is a busy week, with two of the major professional groups holding their annual events. IAHCSMM is hosting their annual meeting in San Diego and SGNA in Orlando. See updates here: IAHCSMM & SGNA.
     Keeping track of the latest meetings is not always easy. However, Healthmark's effort to provide a current list of events via a feed on the front page of hmark.com will surely ease the mind of those who tire of endlessly searching for information. Additionally, Healthmark welcomes the input of everyone. See the Tip of the Week below to learn about how you can submit your event to be posted online.

Take care and remember to always
"Keep it Clean"

Sincerely,
Stephen M. Kovach
Director of Education
