The Power of 10  

Last year at ACE in Nashville, AHDI launched a campaign to raise $10 from 10,000 MTs to support the association's advocacy efforts in Washington DC, where AHDI and MTIA are working hard to make sure YOU have a role in the future of the EHR.

Symposium attendees will have an opportunity to donate to the POWER OF 10 campaign at the event. The Capital Chapter will match all attendee contributions to show our commitment to this important campaign. 

All funds collected will go directly to the Power of 10 Campaign.
