The Capital Chapter is a component organization of AHDI (Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity). The Capital Chapter is based in Austin, Texas, and was originally chartered in 1983 as a component association of AAMT (American Association for Medical Transcription). We are proudly celebrating our 29th anniversary in 2012. The Capital Chapter has a diverse membership from the greater Austin area and many other parts of Texas. Our members include medical transcriptionists, students, managers, business owners, and various HIM professionals. We have members who work for hospitals, clinics, and transcription services, as well as home-based independent contractors and employees. Meetings are usually held at Seton Medical Center in Austin. We invite you to attend! For more information, please email 2012 Capital Chapter President Glenda Ripley, CMT, at glendaripley@gmail.com
