Here's what physicians have to say about the benefits of PAHCOM for their practice managers:

"Our practice has benefited significantly from the new ideas our practice administrator brings back from PAHCOM, particularly in contracting and human resources. Having our practice administrator be a member of PAHCOM is a ‘slam-dunk' and should be a ‘no-brainer' for any physician practice."
— Robert Barker, M.D. President, Acute Care Consultants, Dayton, OH

"PAHCOM has proven to be an unlimited resource for our office, as advantageous information is shared during their meetings. The networking gives our office manager almost instant access to the solutions and ideas that keep our office running in a profitable, successful manner. In short, I would not practice medicine where the office manager does not belong to PAHCOM."
— Jeffrey G. Meade, MD

"PAHCOM is money in the bank. Whether it's for the business of medicine or not, I always try to put money into the people I depend on and work with."
— Glenn R. Womack, MD

"Our practice has always been very supportive of PAHCOM. We have received our investment back many times over."
— Gary R. Ensz, MD

Here's what physicians had to say about the PAHCOM members whom they recommended for the 2008 PAHCOM Medical Manager of the Year Award:

"Lisamarie's quiet confidence and overwhelming enthusiasm set the tone for everyone in the practice, physicians and staff alike. We recently completed a $600,000 new office construction project, which Lisamarie oversaw from inception to completion. She arranged the financing, interfaced with architects, contractors, and designers, and supervised all phases of the development."
— Dr. Michael Gross on behalf of Lisa Marie Volino, EFPM, Practice Administrator, Active Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine PA, Westwood, NJ

"It is without hesitation that I recommend Joan Rissmiller for PAHCOM's Medical Manager of the Year Award. What distinguishes medicine from an ordinary business is its fiduciary responsibility to patients-and this altruism, or obligation to patients' welfare, is what separates the competent medical manager from the spectacular medical manager. Joan is that ultimate professional and leader."
— Dr. Douglas Trostle on behalf of Joan Rissmiller, CMM, Practice Administrator, Colon Rectal Surgery Associates PC, Allentown, PA

"Mary Ann Tyler undertook a colossal task in correcting many of the deficiencies in our group practice. Mary Ann was persistent, professional, caring, thorough, knowledgeable and efficient. She had brought order to chaos, calm to frustration, and satisfaction to desperation. Our practice is now on a successful track solely due to the efforts of one woman."
— Dr. Joseph LaBricciosa on behalf of Mary Ann Tyler, CMM, Consultant, Glen Mills, PA
