Certification
There is a financial reward for certification!!

Have you thought of becoming certified? Now is a great time to do it. The NJ HFMA
Board has agreed to fund a drawing raffle this year with $50 per person that
achieves the CHFP or FHFMA designation (up to a maximum of $500). If you
achieve your certification between June 1, 2007 and May 31, 2008, you will
automatically be entered into the June 2008 drawing and could be the lucky winner
of up to $500.00.

Certification Advantages

Survey results have shown a strong relationship between certification and career
advancement. Certified members of HFMA tend to earn a higher annual salary and
are more likely to be hired for upper-level positions in healthcare finance. Click
