CHIME Board Members Honored for Leadership, Innovation
ANN ARBOR, MI, April 7, 2017 – Recognized for their leadership and drive to transform healthcare, several College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) members were recently named the “Most Powerful Women in Healthcare IT” by Health Data Management.
The magazine honored 75 female health IT leaders in three categories: healthcare IT executive at a provider organization, healthcare IT thought leaders and healthcare IT vendor executives. CHIME board members Myra Davis, Liz Johnson, Theresa Meadows and Donna Roach were named to the healthcare provider list. Several CHIME Foundation firms were represented on the thought leaders and vendor executive lists.
“We are proud to see so many CHIME members honored as the ‘Most Powerful Women in Healthcare IT,’ but we aren’t surprised,” said CHIME President and CEO Russell Branzell. “As exemplified by these tremendous leaders, CHIME members are driving positive change in their organizations and across the delivery system, and that includes creating a more diverse C-suite.”

“The entire CHIME board is committed to improving diversity across healthcare,” Branzell added.
