Welcome

2011-2012
Dear Fellow Members of the Indiana Pressler Memorial Chapter:
The list of Chapter achievements for 2010-2011 is long, and
reflects the hours spent and efforts made by many dedicated
volunteers throughout the year. Brad Willkie’s leadership and
determination created an environment that enabled many to “Step
Up” to the challenges presented to us. Our Chapter’s success
continued the legacy built by the many capable leaders who have
served us in the past. It was a great year!
As a hospital CFO, I know the landscape of challenges before
the healthcare industry seems vast and daunting. There are folks
here at Memorial in Jasper who have grown weary of hearing me
say that the top line is not going to get any bigger. We have to
do more with less while, at the same time, demonstrating that
quality, effective care is being delivered.
Gregory Adams, 2011-2012 HFMA Chair, certainly considered our
environment when he chose “Believe to Achieve” as his theme for
the year. This theme encompasses the keys to success in our new
and challenging environment.
We have to believe in the mission of our respective
organizations. Essentially, we have to believe in what we do and
why we do it. We have to believe in each other as we strive as a
team to reach the best outcomes for our patients and
organizations. We have to believe in ourselves and have
confidence in our own abilities to succeed in this new era of
healthcare reform that will undoubtedly require us to take risks
and step out of our comfort zones. Finally, we have to believe
in the possibility of a better future, because we have the
opportunity to help shape health care for years to come.
"Believe to Achieve" also applies to how we sustain excellence
within the Indiana Pressler Memorial Chapter of HFMA. We work to
serve our membership the best we can. We must believe in each other
and ourselves as we meet the demands of being Chapter volunteers,
and we have to believe in the future of our Chapter in order to have
the passion to shape it. We have some lofty goals for 2011-2012, and
we can make them happen. Believe to Achieve!
Best wishes for a great year in HFMA,
E. Kyle Bennett, FHFMA, FACHE, CPA
