Proceeds were raised for Hospice of the Golden Isles which has been a part of Jekyll Island’s community since 1980. Hospice of the Golden Isles is the only community-based, Medicare certified, nonprofit hospice that is made up of amazing volunteers who assist patients and their families. According to Jonathan Skaggs, Georgia Chapter President, “Hospice offers tremendous value to the community and we are grateful to support their efforts through the generous contributions our members made, exceeding our goal of $1,000!”
The Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) has a national awards and recognition program intended to focus on important activities that add value for members of the Association while simultaneously encouraging innovation and improvement. The Helen M. Yerger Award recognizes outstanding chapter performance in the categories of Collaboration, Education, Improvement, Innovation, Member Communications, Member Service, and Membership Recruitment and Retention.
