𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 to everyone who joined us last night for the 𝗛𝗜𝗠𝗦𝗦 𝗔𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗼𝗻𝗮 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝘂𝗰𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗿.

What made the evening special was not just the setting or the conversations. It was the quality of the people in the room. Healthcare IT leaders, innovators, and decision-makers from across Arizona coming together to share ideas, build relationships, and strengthen the future of healthcare technology in our state.

We are especially excited about continuing to expand the influence and engagement of the HIMSS Arizona Chapter throughout Southern Arizona. Tucson represents an important and growing healthcare community, and last night was another great reminder of the collaboration and innovation happening across the region.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀. We’re looking forward to building on this momentum together.

Yesterday’s Zero Hour event with the HIMSS Arizona Chapter and Rubrik was an outstanding afternoon of collaboration, discussion, and real-world cybersecurity strategy.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this interactive ransomware simulation experience. The level of engagement and insight from healthcare IT and security leaders across Arizona made the event incredibly valuable.

A special thank you to Rubrik for helping facilitate a hands-on discussion around cyber resilience, incident response, and the realities organizations face in today’s threat landscape.

One of the biggest takeaways from events like this is the value of bringing healthcare, security, and technology leaders together to openly share perspectives, challenges, and ideas.

We appreciate everyone who attended and contributed to the conversation, and we look forward to continuing discussions like these at future HIMSS Arizona Chapter events.
