A Note from the Chapter President, Brittany Roth, SD HFMA Chapter President (2025–2026)
“As I step into my role as Chapter President, I’m reminded how transformative HFMA has been—both personally and professionally. Beyond being an association, HFMA truly feels like a family. The relationships, mentorship, and opportunities I’ve found here have shaped my career in countless ways.
This year, our focus is clear:
• Expanding student engagement to develop future healthcare leaders.
