Go Fund Me for John Knighten

By | President's Message | No Comments

John has been a valued member and major contributor of the HFMA South Texas Chapter over the years. After being involved in an accident last August, many of you have asked how they can help. His family has set up a GoFundMe account to cover some of their expenses, as insurance only covers a portion of the care he needs. To learn more, please read the letter from John’s daughter below. Thank you, The HFMA South Texas Board GoFundMe April 30 Update Hello, all! As we inch into summer, we know so many of you are itching for an update. Robin has rearranged her life and relocated to be in Dallas at the rehabilitation almost full time. Meanwhile, John is continuing to improve and capabilities grow every week. He is responding well to rehab therapy and is fully ambulatory. Although he has not spoken yet, we are encouraged by his progress, attitude and strength. There is a long journey ahead, but he is well on his way back. We are continuing to limit visitations while he undergoes intense physical and mental rehabilitation, however we constantly update John to let him know of all those who continue to pray for his full recovery. Thank you all for your continued love, support, and encouragement during this time! Created November 27, 2018 Many people know John Knighten as a friend, a business professional, a mentor.

By | President's Message | No Comments

Dear HFMA South Texas Colleagues, It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your 2017-2018 President.  I can’t believe how quickly the time goes.  I was just starting to get the hang of this president thing and we are through with our fiscal year. First, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the many people who made it possible for the South Texas Chapter to continue to succeed.  To our sponsors, none of this could be done without your support, THANK YOU!  To the officers, board, committee chairs, co-chairs and volunteers, I am grateful for the time and talents you all continue to contribute.  To the past presidents, your support, encouragement and advice has meant more than you know.  It takes an inspired team to coordinate and facilitate the programs and initiatives we deliver and I am lucky to be a small part of it. The chapter counts on you, the members, to continue to voice areas of improvement needed to meet today’s healthcare challenges.  We count on you to get involved.  If you have suggestions or are interested in taking a more active role in the chapter, please let your board members know. Please join us at an upcoming event, in August our Summer Institute, will be held in Austin with the Central Texas Chapter of ACHE.  Please visit our website www.stxhfma.org for details and registration. Thank you for the opportunity to serve the South Texas Chapter.   David W. Korn President 2017-2018 HFMA…
