Region 6

Regional Executive’s Welcome

Welcome to HFMA Region 6!

It is a true honor to serve as your 2025–2026 Regional Executive for Region 6. Our region is powered by five exceptional chapters: Central Ohio, Great Lakes, Northeast, Northwest, and Southwest – each bringing unique perspectives, deep expertise, and a shared commitment to advancing healthcare finance.

Region 6 is more than a network, it’s a community built on collaboration, education, and connection. Whether you’re a seasoned member or just beginning your HFMA journey, there are countless opportunities to engage, grow, and make a meaningful impact. Together, we support our provider communities, elevate professional standards, and foster inclusive environments where everyone can thrive.

HFMA has been a cornerstone of my professional development and personal growth. Through years of volunteer service, I’ve seen firsthand how this organization builds leaders, sparks innovation, and creates lifelong relationships. I’m proud to be part of a network that continuously inspires excellence and drives positive change.

As we navigate the evolving healthcare landscape, I echo HFMA Chair Kiran Batheja’s call to “Lead Now.” I encourage you to get involved with your chapter, attend events, share your insights, and help shape the future of healthcare finance. Your voice matters, and your contributions make a difference.

2025–2026 Chapter Leaders

• Central Ohio – Devon Jacquin

A heartfelt thank you to Nancy Rocker, Immediate Past Regional Executive, for your outstanding leadership and dedication. I also look forward to continued collaboration with my fellow Regional Executives—your partnership strengthens our collective impact.

Here’s to a year of bold leadership, meaningful connections, and shared success. Let’s make 2025–2026 a year to remember.

“Five Chapters. One Region. United in Purpose.”
