2009 HFMA CHAPTER SURVEY
The Metropolitan Philadelphia Chapter will mail a survey toward the end of October to a random sampling of our members. If you are selected to receive the 2009 HFMA Chapter Survey, we hope you will take a few minutes to complete this short survey.
Making It Count is the HFMA National Chair’s theme for 2009-10. Your response can help us make it count for all our members. The information we gather will help our chapter and HFMA National identify the services that are most important to you, the education topics that hold the most value for you, and areas of service that we can enhance.
We thank you for sharing your ideas and helping us continue to provide the services and resources you need to respond to today's ever-changing healthcare finance landscape.

In Memoriam
Sister Marie Lenahan
In 1943, Sister Marie Lenahan at age 23 got her first experience of caring for the ill.
"Faced with a shortage of workers during World War II," an Inquirer 2003 story reported about what is now Mercy Philadelphia Hospital, "she was thrown into hospital work seven days a week.
"She even scrubbed the hospital's front steps in the middle of the night."
On Monday, Sister Lenahan, 89, president of both Mercy Hospital in West Philadelphia and Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital in Darby from 1972 to 1986, died of heart failure at Mercy Fitzgerald.
In 1981, Sister Lenahan was elected a trustee of the Catholic Health Association of the United States. In 1987, the Metropolitan Philadelphia Chapter of the Healthcare Financial Management Association gave her its annual Achievement Award.
