Pinnacle Awards
The Pinnacle Awards are annual accolades that celebrate the excellence, dedication, and commitment of members who have made significant contributions to enriching CHIMA membership and the health information management field as a whole.
Recipients of the awards are nominated by friends, colleagues, employees, or employers who wish to recognize their hard work and dedication towards the HIM profession.
Who deserves an award?
At CHIMA, we are proud to represent more than 5,000 health information management professionals. Our members work tirelessly to tell the health stories of Canadians.
If you have a friend, colleague, employee, or manager who demonstrates excellence, dedication, and service to the Association and the HIM profession, recognize them with a Pinnacle Award nomination.
