“Being a member of NYHIMA gives you a network of peers and HIM subject matter experts across New York State to turn to when information or suggestions are needed. Some of these peers have turned into friendships I will always have. NYHIMA gave me an opportunity to become involved in projects and committees that furthered my experience and provided more opportunities for growth. The networking, teamwork and knowledge available to you as a member are invaluable. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support of NYHIMA and its members.”
