Northeast Ohio Chapter

President’s Welcome

Dear Members,

As we look ahead, our chapter remains steadfast in its mission to deliver meaningful networking and professional development opportunities. We’re excited to introduce a range of innovative events—including a professional networking experience with the Cleveland Guardians—and targeted training sessions such as our upcoming denials management program. These offerings are designed to reflect the full spectrum of healthcare in Ohio, fostering collaboration, accessibility, and career advancement across all sectors.

The value we provide is measured not only in the quality of our events but also in the strength of our community. We invite both members and sponsors to actively engage—whether by attending events, sharing feedback, or contributing ideas that help shape our programming. Your involvement ensures we continue to deliver relevant, high-impact experiences that meet the evolving needs of our healthcare community.

Operational excellence remains a cornerstone of our success. We are refining our event planning processes, securing dates well in advance, and ensuring balanced leadership representation from both provider and business professionals. These efforts strengthen our governance and enhance our ability to make informed decisions that drive long-term value for all stakeholders.

We encourage every member to participate by registering for events, joining discussions, and connecting with peers and industry leaders. Sponsors are also encouraged to explore partnership opportunities that align with our mission and amplify their impact within the healthcare space.

Together, we are building a dynamic, forward-thinking organization that champions innovation and excellence. We invite you to take full advantage of the resources available and be an integral part of our chapter’s continued growth and success.

Thank you for your ongoing support. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at (330) 730-2404 or andrew.richards@plantemoran.com with any questions. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!

Thanks!
