Background

The Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) recognizes that its strength lies in volunteers, who contribute their time, ideas, and energy to serve the healthcare industry, their profession, and one another. Active participation in HFMA at the national, regional and/or chapter levels provides members with numerous opportunities for professional development, information, networking, and advocacy. Established in 1960, the Founders Merit Award Series acknowledges the contributions made by HFMA members. These awards are part of a merit-rating plan in which specific activities are assigned a range of point values.

The Founders Merit Award Series was revised in April 2004, returning to its core purpose of “Recognizing the Volunteer in You“. Point categories were adjusted to reflect volunteer activity only – eliminating the accumulation of points for membership and educational attendance. Corresponding point allocations and award levels were simultaneously adjusted.

HFMA encourages continuous active participation at the local and national levels. Therefore, the point system and award levels have been established to promote continuous active participation in HFMA.

The Awards

  • The Founders Medal of Honor was added in 1986 and is conferred by nomination of the Chapter Board of Directors. This prestigious award recognizes an individual who has been actively involved in HFMA for at least three years after earning the Muncie Gold Award, has provided significant service at the chapter, regional and/or national level in at least two of those years, and remains a member in good standing. A chapter may nominate members for this award at any time during the year.
  • The Frederick T. Muncie Gold Award is presented to a member who has earned a total of 75 (formerly 300) member points. This award honors Frederick T. Muncie, an organizing member of the AAHA, and the first president of the association (1947-1949). Muncie also assisted in the organization of the first AAHA chapter (First Illinois).
  • The Robert H. Reeves Silver Award is awarded to an individual who has earned 50 (formerly 200) total member points. Reeves, an organizing member of the AAHA, was elected president of AAHA in 1956 and was instrumental in creating the structure of AAHA.
  • The William G. Follmer Bronze Award is awarded after an individual has earned 25 (formerly 100) member points. This award is named after William G. Follmer, who is credited with the creation of the American Association of Hospital Accountants (AAHA) (now HFMA).

**Chapter members can view their Founders points on the HFMA National web site under Manage My Account in their personal profiles through the membership directory area. Any discrepancies between points awarded and points earned should be reported to the Chapter’s Founders Award Chairperson.

Each award is a plaque appropriately engraved for the recipient. Members who are recipients are:

NameYear
Anthony E. Slabacheski2003

The Healthcare Financial Management Association MA-RI Chapter (HFMA MA-RI) recognizes that the leaders in the healthcare field drive the work of today, but also what will be the work of tomorrow. Leaders at the national, regional and/or chapter level influence the trajectory of work in our field, impact the policies at a regional and national level, and create a more knowledgeable and effective workforce.  Through this award, the MA-RI Chapter honors career-long contributions to and exemplary leadership in the healthcare profession by persons who are making significant contributions to their profession and community through their time, actions, talents and dedication.

The Current Past President will solicit nominations from the Board and Past Presidents.  The Past Presidents will discuss and vote on the candidate, and will bring any approved candidates forward to the Board for final vote.  The intention is not to have a required annual awardee; the award should be given only when the Past Presidents feel that there is a noteworthy recipient.  The Past Presidents will make their recommendations based on the following criteria for each nominee:

  • Leadership in the institution or institutions where they have been employed
  • Leadership in the profession
  • Examples of work where the nominee had an impact on the education and understanding of healthcare matters to society

In addition, the committee also considers evidence that supports:

  • Leadership in areas of professional development within the healthcare field
  • Leadership in influencing change or new directions
  • Leadership in the creation of knowledge and collaborative scholarly work
  • provides numerous opportunities for professional development, information, networking, and advocacy
  • excelled in his or her work and/or has made outstanding contributions in the healthcare field

Guidelines and eligibility

  • Candidates must be or have been contributing members of the healthcare community, and must have made significant and demonstrable contributions to the field. 
  • Candidates may or may not be members of HFMA

Recognition

The Chapter will recognize award recipients at the Annual Awards Dinner. The Chapter will also post highlights of their accomplishments on the award gallery of the HFMA MA-RI website, and post an interview with the recipient on the blog.
