As my term as President of NYS Bones and many years serving on the board comes to an

end I look back and see how much this organization has changed. Much like the healthcare

industry has changed. The body of knowledge for today’s Practice Manager is always

expanding just when we think we have it down to a science, a new piece of legislation is

introduced: the way we have coded since the beginning of time is being expanded, labor

laws are transformed, and staff issues get more complicated, just to name a few. Through

all these challenges some things remain the same — we rely on our peers and try to stay

one step ahead. Whether it be here at the conference and networking with the only people

who really understand what each day can bring, through our Lunch and Learn Series that

keeps us up to date on whatever seems to be challenging us that month, or our expansion

of the NYS List Serve knowing that the answer to almost any question is just a click away.

Our board works very hard at staying current and relevant for our members and always

welcomes ideas and suggestions for how we may improve. NYS Bones has many changes in

its future and I am looking forward to seeing what it will become as it continues to grow. New

faces on the board will bring fresh ideas and a different take on these challenges. Long standing

and new vendors are offering more of a glimpse into their services through our Vendor Affiliate

program. The Lunch and Learn Series will continue to add value for our members while not

taking us away from our busy practices. I can’t wait to see what this new board will bring.

Thank you to our members for giving me the opportunity to serve as President of

this organization, it has taught me more than I could have imagined. To the Vendors,

some of which have been supporting NYS Bones since day one and others who are

just joining us, thank you for all you have given this still new but growing organization.

Without you we wouldn’t be able to offer many of the things we are able to provide

our members. A special thank you to Bill Steger whom I have referred to many times as

the “man behind the curtain” who takes all of our ideas and makes them happen.

I hope you all enjoy the 8th Annual Conference

Best,

Megan A. O’Hara
