The HIMSS NCA 2024-2025 Charity Program:
The Health Information and Management Systems Society, National Capital Area (HIMSS NCA) Chapter engages in many forms of community service, including its annual Charity Award Program. Within our chapter, event and sponsorship proceeds are designated for charitable organizations serving the metropolitan DC community. Consistent with our mission, HIMSS NCA supports those serving the health needs of their community, preferably needs including an information technology component.
Recipients of the Charity Program Award benefit from direct funding, as well as exposure to a wide network of health information technology (health IT) professionals living in the community.
In 2023-2024, HIMSS NCA provided funding to support three Health IT projects serving uninsured and special needs populations locally. The recipients of the 2023-2024 HIMSS NCA Charity Program Award were Arlington Free Clinic, Culmore Clinic and Horizon Day Camp - Metro DC.
The Charity Award Program has allowed HIMSS NCA to support projects in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. The 2024-2025 awards will continue supporting charities in the DC metropolitan area, specifically those organizations that use the funds for a health or healthcare technology related endeavors.
