Join AHIMA Board President Thea Campbell, MBA, RHIA, as she opens AHIMA26 Conference in San Antonio, Texas, and welcomes attendees to a transformative week centered on this year's theme, The Pivot Point. In her President's Address, Thea will share her vision for the future of AHIMA and the health information profession, exploring the pivotal moments, decisions, and opportunities shaping healthcare today and defining where the profession goes next.
As the industry navigates rapid change, AHIMA26 serves as the pivot point where bold decisions create new directions. Together, we'll examine how health information professionals are uniquely positioned to lead through transformation and shape the future of healthcare.
The session will also celebrate excellence across the profession during the AHIMA26 Awards Recognition Ceremony, honoring the recipients of the Grace & Triumph Awards, HOSA competition winners, and new AHIMA Fellows. These distinguished individuals exemplify the dedication, innovation, and leadership that continue to advance the profession and strengthen the healthcare ecosystem.
Attendees will also welcome the newest class of the AHIMA Leadership Development Academy, a transformative program intended to create a path toward AHIMA Board service.
The opening session culminates with an inspiring keynote from Phil Hansen, internationally recognized artist, innovator, and author whose powerful message demonstrates how life's greatest limitations can become catalysts for transformation.
For the tens of millions who have seen Phil's artwork on television and online, it's hard to imagine that his creative career nearly ended when he developed a permanent tremor in his drawing hand. Faced with what seemed like a devastating setback, Phil discovered a profound truth: by embracing his limitation rather than fighting it, he unlocked entirely new possibilities for creativity and innovation.
Phil will challenge attendees to rethink obstacles, uncertainty, and change. Through compelling storytelling and unforgettable visual demonstrations, he will reveal how pivotal moments can become opportunities for growth and reinvention. As healthcare and the health information profession continue to evolve, Phil's message will inspire attendees to embrace change, discover new possibilities, and confidently navigate the pivot points that shape their careers and the future of healthcare.
