CMS LUNCH AND LEARN
CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY LUNCH AND LEARN SEMINARS On November 14th, Rob Richter, Professional Office Services Regional Territory Manager for Northern Florida, gave an excellent program on best practices in collecting patient payments.
We thank CAMPUS USA Credit Union for sponsoring the November 14th Lunch and Learn. Traci Poucher and Alex Gonzalez attended as representatives from CAMPUS USA Credit Union.
Seminars are held at the Capital Health Plan on Governors Square Blvd – and we thank them for providing this venue to us.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THE SPRING 2019 LUNCH AND LEARN SEMINARS February 20, 2019 Creating Satisfied Patients Who Love Your Organization Building satisfied and loyal advocates for your organization or medical services doesn’t just come from having good medical outcomes. Today’s patients often have choices on where to be seen for medical issues. They also tend to weigh the emotional side of the equation — how they are treated through the entire process, their ability to understand and relate to doctors and staff, and feeling valued and respected — as much as the factual side — success rates, experience of medical personnel, rates of complications or infection, and timeliness of care and service. Join us for this lunch-time session to learn and practice ways to communicate positively, learn the impact of words and offering options, and find ways to help build patients who are fierce advocates for your brand. We promise you’ll leave with some new ideas and have a little fun as well. Speaker: M. Michelle Bono Sponsor: TMH Federal Credit Union

Redmon – in honor of Vicki Erwin-Wilson, M.D. and her staff at Wilson Family Medicine
Capital Medical Society Foundation’s community of donors strategically help fulfill its mission “to support the charitable efforts of physicians and others, increase access to healthcare, promote education and serve the community’s health needs through innovative projects that are exemplary, affordable and dignified.” ➢ Access to healthcare is increased through gifts to We Care Network and the We Care Network Endowment Fund. More than $98 million in donated specialty medical and dental care has been provided to low-income, uninsured patients since the program was created in 1992. In fiscal year 2017-18, which ended June 30, 2018, more than $8 million in health care was donated. Gifts support the operational expenses of the program including salaries and benefits of the case management team who coordinate the donated care. ➢ To provide incentives to keep medical students trained at FSU College of Medicine in the Big Bend after completion of their residencies and help meet the growing demand for physicians in Florida, gifts to the Scholarship Fund provide scholarships to FSU College of Medicine students who have expressed an interest in returning to the Big Bend to practice after completion of their residencies. $42,000 was awarded in 2018. ➢ Gifts to Capital Medical Society Foundation help provide operational resources for Capital Medical Society Foundation. In addition, modest grants are awarded to area non-profits whose programs improve access to health care for the underserved. In 2018, CMSF awarded a total of $10,000 in grants to Elder Care for their In-Home Services Program, Alzheimer’s Project for caregiver support resources, and Lighthouse of the Big Bend to provide clients who have vision loss with the aids needed to manage their health and medical care independently. Gifts to Honor and In Memoriam: You can make a donation to the CMS Foundation in memory of someone who has passed away or in honor of someone, such as a fellow physician, you hold in high esteem or has taken care of you or your family. CMS Foundation will send an acknowledgement letter to those you memorialize and honor. How to Give: Through the generosity of donors, funds have been created in order to establish financial stability to meet our mission. You can donate at any time to one of CMS Foundation’s current funds: 1) Capital Medical Society Foundation-area of greatest need 2) The Capital Medical Society Foundation Endowment 3) We Care Network 4) We Care Network Endowment 5) Scholarship Fund 6) The Ronald G.
