Welcome to the Illinois Chapter

Our upcoming series, Case-of-the-Month, is co-presented by the American Case Management Association (ACMA) and the Association of Physician Leadership in Care Management (APLCM). In the Case of the Month series, we delve deep into real-world medical cases, sharing experiences, best practices, and innovative approaches to patient care. Each episode, our panel of experts brings you a new case study, offering a unique learning opportunity for health care professionals at all levels of experience. Learn more!

Karen Vanaskie was one of case management's brightest and most dedicated professionals. She was serving as Secretary / Treasurer on the ACMA National Board of Directors at the time of her unexpected passing on June 21, 2024.

At the request of Karen's family, ACMA has set up the Karen Vanaskie Scholarship Fund. Karen was passionate about the need for case management certification. She actively supported her staff in pursuing the Accredited Case Manager (ACM) Certification. To continue her legacy, this scholarship fund will cover the cost of their ACM certification application fee for those to whom it is awarded. We believe this continues Karen's legacy.
