REMINDER: HIP WEEK!


Don’t forget that next week is Health Information Professionals (HIP) Week and we will be celebrating you and your future profession!  I hope you have marked your calendars for the Meet & Greet with me and Frank Valier (if you live in the area) on Wednesday, March 25 from 4:00-6:00 p.m. in the Fleet Room at Charter Oak.  It will be very casual so come and go as you please!  Then, at 6:00 I will be presenting a WebEx about the HIM profession.  The title is HIM:  Get Your Foot in the Door and Keep Walking!

Since the presentation is via WebEx, you can join us from anywhere with a computer.  If you are here for the Meet and Greet you are welcome to stay and listen live, or leave in time to get home and watch it from there.  It is flexible – whatever works best for you!

 We hope to see many of you next Wednesday – either live or virtually! 

Happy HIP Week!
