Can you believe how fast this year has gone? We have begun our new program year for CCAHU. And we have lots of interesting, educational and fun events planned.
This past summer we offered a 4 hour CE course for the NAHU CDHC Certification. Shelly Winson from OptumHealth did an outstanding job as the instructor. Over 40 individuals took the course and as of last week, most have already taken the on-line exam and received their certification. If you did pass the exam, remember – you can put ‘CDHC Certified’ on your website, business cards, etc.
We kicked off our new year with our September luncheon speaker, NAHU’s Michael Keegan. The meeting started with Ted DeCorte and Dwight Mazzone discussing the healthcare platforms for McCain and Obama. Then Mr. Keegan provided a power point presentation that went into additional detail on both platforms.
Coming up next month, we have our honorary member, Valerie Rosalin, and her associate, Charles Quintana. They will be discussing the State of NV information programs for un-insured, along with the new consumer education program. Also scheduled for October is our annual golf tournament. This year, Rebecca Purdy is the chair of that event. It is a charity golf tournament, benefiting the ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) foundation. The flyer for that event is posted on the website.
November, we have Jon Ralston coming to give us a “political wrap-up”. Based upon the winners of the election, he will be giving us his “prognostications”. Later in November, we will be hosting our 2nd annual Wine/Silent Auction Holiday Party. The proceeds of the silent auction will benefit the other charities that we adopted, SHEROS and Lincoln Elementary School. The flyer for this event is also posted on the website.
As stated in my prior message, we will have our challenges this year, but we will have fun along the way. Thank you for your support of CCAHU and look forward to seeing you at the upcoming events.
