CHIME Foundation Poised to Bring Enhanced Value through New Structure
7.16.219
By Jennifer Ramstrom, VP, CHIME Foundation and CHIME Technologies, Inc.
Dear CHIME Foundation Partners,
I am excited to share an enhancement to the CHIME Foundation organizational structure. Previewed during our Foundation Luncheon at HIMSS this spring, this realignment was developed to better meet the needs of you, our Foundation partners, by providing a single point of contact to ensure optimal utilization of your member benefits and other products and programs exclusively available through CHIME.
In June, we finalized the implementation of our National Account Management structure. Foundation partners now have an assigned, dedicated account director. Jessica Hadley, Caitlin Kelly and Rebecca Scholten have all taken on the newly created role of business development director. Caitlin, Rebecca, and Jessica each have an assigned U.S. territory and Rebecca is also managing our partners in Canada. This new structure will allow us to better understand each of your organization’s offerings, business models and unique strategies as it relates to your growth within the healthcare market. With the intended goal of bringing incremental value to our partnerships, we have already experienced deeper, more strategic conversations with you, our business partners, and an enhanced level of engagement through this new model.
Many needs can be met by wielding and capitalizing on the suite of Foundation benefits provided to you through your membership. The Business Development team will work closely with our new Corporate Partner Services team, charged with supporting, implementing and concluding benefits related activity for your organization. The Corporate Partner Services team is led by Arika Lycan, corporate partner services director and includes Chris Hargrett, associate, CHIME Foundation, and Erin Waggoner, specialist, AEHIS/T/A Foundations as well as our Foundation intern, Charles Russell. Rounding out the Foundation structure is Rose Lucas, executive assistant, CHIME Foundation, who provides administrative operations support for our team.
The entire CHIME Foundation team will continue to be guided by CHIME Foundation Chief Operating Officer Barb Sivek and me. We are excited for this next chapter in the CHIME Foundation’s journey and are thankful to have loyal CHIME Foundation partners, like you, by our side, fueling our growth and progress.
We look forward to your feedback as we continue to implement this new structure and we will keep you abreast of other enhancements as we move down the path of Foundation 2.0.
Thank you for your partnership.
Best,
Jennifer
