Your giving matters

Danita H. Forgey

When I was in the Health Information Administration Program, Mary McKenzie, the program director at the time, and Jan Ashton, a faculty member, both let us know the importance of supporting an HIA education, and they established a culture of program support by its graduates. I hope that our alumni will continue to support the HIM program and Luddy Indy.
