"Welcome to the Healthcare Management Forum of Northeast PA, one of five local ACHE Chapters in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 2008 is proving to be the year of change for ACHE local chapters throughout the country due to the 'Combined Membership Structure' initiative implemented by ACHE. Every ACHE member residing in our 15 county territory is now a member of our local Chapter, which includes over 150 ACHE affiliates.

In the midst of this transition year, our Chapter will strive to organize, educate, inform and serve the needs of our local ACHE members. I would encourage all ACHE affiliates to become involved in our local Chapter to get the most of your ACHE membership in that it promotes local networking and provides educational opportunities right here in our backyard.

We're always looking for new ideas and look forward to your participation in our Chapter."

J.R. Vought, President
