Message from your ACHE Regent

Spring 2023


Spring 2023 has arrived and both ACHE of Western PA and ACHE of Central PA have sprung up very successful programming for ACHE members in just five months! If you haven’t had a chance to attend these dynamic virtual or in-person sessions this year, you still have time.

Please visit both Chapter websites as follows learn about upcoming events:

ACHE of Central PA

ACHE of Western PA


Also, be sure to check your “My ACHE” communication preferences for your Chapter areas so you’re in the know real time on the latest Chapter happenings. In addition to attending educational and networking sessions, there are many ways you can

get involved with your local Chapter, and volunteering is a great way to give back. ACHE recognizes the value that you bring to the profession and offers a recognition program as such. Check out the link to learn more at https://www.ache.org/about-ache/news-and-

awards/ache-recognition-program.

Lastly, I’d like to take a moment to recognize two Board Members on the Central PA Chapter as they were recently nominated and selected to serve on ACHE National Committees starting in March 2023 for a three year term. Please join in congratulating them for their continued demonstration of health care excellence.
