About

Happiness Starts with Caring Hearts!

 

We know you CARE about your patients and your practice.  We're listening...we heard YOU! We used the results from our Fall Conference Survey to make our Spring Conference the best one yet! 

POHMS knows that practices are struggling financially, so come listen to Jonathan Coggins speak about the future of Community Oncology and how to survive with "Less Money, Mo Problems". We will also have a legislative update given by Ben Jones, which is always crucial, but especially with a new president and congress in office.  Greg Radick will be discussing Medicare Updates in 2025.  We have more in store as well!

Register today using the "Members" or "Corporate Sponsors & Exhibitors" tabs.

If you plan on staying, secure your room before our block closes on February 21, 2025. Remember, we are back at Hotel Hershey this Spring! The link can be found on our "Venue" tab.

All important documents such as W9 and Letter of Request is located under the "Corporate Sponsors & Exhibitors" tab.

Contact Veronica@pohms.com with any questions!
