Membership Testimonials

I would like to comment on two important services that I see MSHRM provides: 1) networking; members offering assistance when asked & the fellowship of belonging to a dynamic professional organization and 2) education; invaluable information on current issues in risk and patient safety. Thanks for all you've done in my 20 plus years as a member! Sincerely, Diane Valley, MS, RN, CPHRM, AHRMQR Manager of Clinical Safety Quality & Patient Safety Department Spectrum Health United and Kelsey Hospitals



I have been a member of MSHRM for 17 years. I started by attending the "School of Hard Knocks" at the annual meeting, then presenting that same session a few years later. I am now completing my term as a member of the Board of Directors. The networking, education and friendships that I have experienced over the years have enhanced my career as a Risk Manager. I am proud to be affiliated with this exceptional organization. Sincerely, Julie Erickson Director, Risk Management Mercy Campus Mercy Health Partners
