Outstanding Chapter of the Year
Michigan. The Outstanding Chapter of the Year Award goes to one chapter that exemplifies high performance, going above and beyond the basic chapter requirements. The recipient of the Outstanding Chapter of the Year Award for 2018 is the Michigan chapter of SHM.
The Michigan chapter continues to embrace the mission of our society and nurtures a vibrant, multidisciplinary membership. It is currently the largest chapter in the program, representing more than 750 SHM members.
Using a technology-enabled platform, the Michigan chapter has expanded its meetings to four different sites, leveraging expertise from across the state. The chapter recently held its largest meeting focused on provider burnout, with more than 100 attendees across four different sites. It featured a main speaker as well as a multidisciplinary panel of leaders from eight different health systems.
The chapter has successfully incorporated advocacy into its annual planning and actively responds to new legislation affecting hospital medicine. It continues to be an active and valued member of the Michigan medical community and the SHM chapter community at large.
In addition to the service to members, the chapter strives to serve the SHM chapter community at large by collaborating and sharing best practices.
The chapter’s level of originality is not only a benefit to the chapter, but also to SHM’s Chapter program as a whole. Congratulations to the Michigan chapter on being named the Outstanding Chapter of 2018.
Rising Star Chapter
Knoxville. The Rising Star Chapter Award goes to one chapter that has been active for 2 years or less and in the past 12 months has made improvements to its leadership, stability and growth, and membership.
The recipient of the Rising Star Chapter Award for 2018 is the Knoxville (Tenn.) Chapter of SHM, which has made significant strides since its launch in the spring of 2017. The chapter assembled a group of local hospitalists from Knoxville and the surrounding region to encourage participation and drive quality initiatives in area hospitals.
The Knoxville chapter developed a leadership framework, including officers and board members, and just completed its first formal chapter leadership election. In 2018, the chapter held four meetings, including an event steered toward residents and students. Membership in the chapter has grown by more than 20% since inception. The chapter has engaged in statewide quality initiatives with the Tennessee Hospital Association and has engaged with other chapters across the state.
The Knoxville’s Chapter is an active, enthusiastic organization that is rapidly growing and thriving. Congratulations to the Knoxville chapter on being named the Rising Star Chapter for 2018.
