About Us
Our Mission
The Arizona Association of Health Access Management (AZHAM) is dedicating to enriching our profession by providing education, peer support and networking resources and opportunities for our members in a fun, professional forum.
We encourage the exchange of information to develop an understanding on how trends and changes in healthcare management and political issues affect us and other Patient Access professionals across Arizona.
History
In 1974, the National Association of Healthcare Access Management (NAHAM) was established to improve patient care and to create a forum for managers to exchange best practice efforts around the country. The Arizona Chapter held their first meeting at St. Joseph's Hospital in 1977. For over 30 years now NAHAM & AZHAM forums have branched out into healthcare lobbying; bringing a voice to Patient Access.
Our local AZ Chapter continues to participate on a national level to be proactive with information exchange and to bring forth concerns and experiences facing our healthcare organizations and professionals.
