The Northern and Central/Southern Ohio Chapters of HIMSS is hosting it’s 3rd annual Advocacy Day. The purpose is for us to explain the importance of Healthcare IT to our legislators! We believe we were instrumental in getting a large $90,000,000 federal and state grant for IT planning in the budget last year. This is a great opportunity to see how our legislature works and tour our recently remodeled capital building. There is no charge for this all day event.
