In early 1994, the CHIME Foundation was established, enabling suppliers of HIS products and services the opportunity to directly support the educational initiatives of the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives organization. In return for their significant support, Foundation members receive special access to members via such mechanisms as focus groups, committee involvement, and elevated participation and recognition at our events. We are pleased to welcome and thank the 57 CHIME Foundation Members including 18 Premier Members.
