2022 NCMGMA Fall Conference Wrap Up: Awards, Photos and More

2022 Fall Conference a Success!

We came together last week in Cherokee – September 14-16, 2022 – for our Fall Conference in the brand new event center of Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort. Over 100 attendees, speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors enjoyed continuing education from some of healthcare’s finest thought leaders, participated in essential networking events with peers and old friends, honored outstanding industry achievement with our annual awards, and experienced the sold-out exhibit hall full of Alliance sponsor products and services.

Thank you to everyone who pulled away from their busy practices to join us. Thank you to all our speakers and exhibitors for sharing your knowledge and expertise and thank you to our sponsors for your continued support of our organization: we couldn’t do it without you. And, lastly, thank you to our volunteers for leading the organization and keeping us moving in the right direction: your hard work and dedication does not go unnoticed.

Regulatory Updates with David Sousa of Curi

November 17, 2020 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EST

In our ever-evolving world of healthcare delivery, the one constant is change. When that change is dictated by a regulatory, compliance and legal environment completely outside of your control, then life becomes difficult. When a pandemic is added to the heap, life can be unimaginable.

Join us as we take a brief dive into what is new since COVID-19 walloped us all in the spring, and what is on the near horizon. We’ll take a stab at keeping you in the know and preparing you to take the action needed to protect your practice.

Our Speaker
