June 22-25th – HFMA National Conference in Denver, CO

Join Pam Austin, CIO at Ballad Health, Shana Tate, VP of Revenue Cycle at Ballad Health, Laura Kreofsky, Rural Health Director at Microsoft Philanthropy and Jason Griffin, Managing Director at Nordic at a panel discussion titled “Building Back Stronger: A Roadmap for Rural Healthcare Resilience” on Monday, June 23rd at 9:10am Mountain time in the Mile High 4E Room.

Ballad Health will be sharing their heroic response to Hurricane Helene, the financial impact of the temporary closure of Unicoi, and the “CIO-Entrepreneur” mindset that’s required to move fast and solve problems with limited resources to support continued patient care amidst devastation.

We’ll be discussing the lasting impact that this had on the team, key lessons learned and critical strategies for safeguarding rural health providers and their communities against future events.
