Only a Few Days Left to AHRMM12!

Greetings from New York. I am definitely excited to be attending the 50th AHRMM Conference in San Antonio, Texas. I am extremely proud to be a member of AHRMM. This year marks the 50th anniversary of this conference. This clearly demonstrates the commitment that this organization has for its members. I was totally bummed out that I could not attend the 49th conference last year. Specially after such a successful 48th in Denver. I am convinced that the knowledge that I obtained at the Denver conference and previously in Tampa, were instrumental to my transition from being a hospital based manager to the consulting role that I now hold. This is one of the reasons why I make it a point to attend the AHRMM Conference year after year. The educational tracks cover every conceivable subject that is relevant to today’s hospital supply chain. After examining the offerings for this year’s educational tracks, it looks like we are headed to another outstanding conference. I am sure that I will not be disappointed.

I am also looking forward to connect with some of my previous directors as well as some great people that I have met during my attendance to the conference over the last few years. Networking with other professionals in our field is exciting as well as insightful as we share stories and experiences from our daily endeavors. Due to all of our busy schedules, it is nearly impossible to be able to interact with all of the talented people in our profession. The AHRMM Conference allows us to do just that.

This year I will be traveling with one of my colleagues who is a first time attendee to the AHRMM Conference. He is a Six Sigma Black Belt and has lead several successful Perioperative and supply chain reorganizations. He was impressed at the number of offerings that this year’s AHRMM Conference has related to Lean and Six Sigma. I am looking forward to provide you with his insights on the conference as well.

I can’t wait to see you at AHRMM12.
