Awards & Fellowship
Introduction to Awards & Fellowship
Ninety years ago, Grace Whiting Myers, the founder of AHIMA, sparked a movement that forever changed health information (HI). She believed better organization and use of HI could improve public health and drive meaningful change.
Today, as the heartbeat of healthcare, HI enables effective care, innovation, life-saving research, and empowers individuals to manage their health. Through Awards and Fellowship programs, we honor those who continue her legacy and lead the way in shaping the future of HI.
