President’s Message (Sue’s News)

Dear AHVAP Members and Affiliates,

AHVAP extends our empathy to all healthcare colleagues, organizations and communities once again during these on-going challenges with rising COVID-19 cases. We also thank you for your dedication and continued support to AHVAP and know that we are here for each other during these trying times.

We are just a few weeks away from AHVAP’s National Annual Conference and Supplier Showcase (October 27-29, 2021) and are, of course, ensuring health and safety first. Throughout the year, AHVAP’s eight dedicated Committees have been working behind the scenes, meeting regularly to ensure AHVAP’s strategic initiatives and goals are on target bringing forth quality education, resourceful materials, and informative presentations that AHVAP’s members so well deserve. This year AHVAP is honored to bring such a preeminent global thought and experienced leader as Dr. Randy Bradley as AHVAP’s Keynote Speaker. Especially in these crucial times, Dr. Bradley will educate us on the keys to thriving in this type of environment therefore, you don’t want to miss out on this opportunity. We look forward to seeing you in Scottsdale and having an opportunity to reconnect!

We are also looking forward to hearing from our members and affiliates within their regions. If you have an initiative or topic that you would like to share among your specific region or with all the AHVAP regions, please connect with your Regional Director by locating them at https://www.ahvap.org/page/board_of_directors and contacting info@ahvap.org. This is a great opportunity for members to be recognized, project your organization into the value analysis spotlight, and connect with peers and affiliates. Let’s continue to learn and increase value analysis knowledge from each other.

With good health,

−Susan A. Toomey, BSHA, CVAHP, CMRP
