Marybeth Remorenko – “From the time I was little, I always wanted to take care of people and admired my grandfather who was a chief of medicine at a hospital in New York. I heard stories about how he made house calls back then and accepted vegetables from people’s garden for those who couldn’t afford to pay. I’m inspired by the providers who take care of our community and see health care finance as an area where I can use my business and finance skills to support the mission. I hope to make it a better experience for patients while also making sure the providers and hospitals are compensated for their hard work and dedication.”
Charles Zanazzi – “My passion in healthcare finance has been to understand and find creative solutions to the challenge of cost control and quality of care. I have been involved in supporting the industry since 1993 and have seen several iterations of “reform”. My efforts have been focused in helping support creative and innovative efforts in the private sector to decrease cost pressure and increase patient quality and consequently attempt to influence and understand public policy in this area, learning from our mistakes and maximizing our successes as we go.
Through my decades in finance support I am most proud of my support of the independent physician practice community in creating structures in which they can innovate and thrive. In a small way I hope we have helped to support their integration into the larger healthcare finance system in a very positive way. I am honored to be joining the HFMA Board and look forward to my engagement with the entire organization.”
