CMSA had an amazing time celebrating case managers and those who support them for National Case Management Week, October 8-14, 2023 – we need more than just a week to acknowledge everything you do! Thank you for your tireless work to improve the lives of your patients/clients, their families and support systems.

#CMWEEK2023
In addition to the countless company, chapter and local events, CMSA offered an exceptional line-up of education, discussion and fun for member and non-member case managers.

In fact, over 950 case managers participated in the full week of celebrations including CE webinars, a roundtable networking session, a virtual reception, a hot-off-the-press position paper on the value of case management free for all, daily prizes, CM Treasure Hunt cash prizes and a grand prize. And we are not done celebrating. Three bonus CE webinars will be available to all (recorded and live) throughout the month of October. Access all recordings and register for upcoming events here.

THANK YOU!
While National Case Management Week provides an opportunity for case managers to come together and share their knowledge and experience, and for others to learn about and celebrate the valuable contributions of case managers to the healthcare system, at CMSA, case managers continue to be celebrated all year long, to further recognize the hard work and dedication of case managers and continue to push forward in advancing the profession.

Let us know about your #CMWeek2023 experience and share ideas for next year’s celebration with us. We’d love to hear from you. Please take a moment to complete this brief CM Week Feedback Survey.
