HFMA Members Give Back to Community

After a long opening day of the Iowa Hospital Association’s 2019 Annual Meeting, 20 Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) members were just getting started.

Iowa Chapter sponsors and CBSI staff members Brian Grimes and Misty Little were among the volunteers who recently gathered at Dorothy’s House for a charity/networking event. The Des Moines recovery house helps victims of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation.

The volunteers donated hours of their time hauling compost, creating raised garden beds, mulching, trimming and completing general yard clean-up. 

Kellie Markey, founder of Dorothy’s House, was extremely grateful for the help. In addressing the group, she explained how her organization will be tearing down one house and undertaking a building project very soon. She said lack of funds and regulatory issues can be a source of frustration for them. But when she sees the difference they’re making in the lives of the girls who come through their doors, she knows she’s supposed to keep going.

Kudos to all the volunteers who are giving back!
