Healthcare Management Administrators

Go Team HMA! 🎉

Such a great morning at EBPA’s final program of 2025! I loved hearing Washington State Insurance Commissioner Patter Kuderer share her insights, priorities, and what’s on the horizon heading into 2026. Events like this always remind me why I’m so passionate about the work we do. There’s so much value in staying connected, informed, and engaged with our community. Plus… the festive holiday outfits definitely brought some extra cheer. 🎄✨ Feeling motivated heading into 2026 and grateful to be part of an industry that continues to evolve and inspire. #EBPA #EmployeeBenefits #InsuranceCommunity #WashingtonState #ProfessionalDevelopment #Leadership #2025WrapUp Washington Athletic Club

Today, we’re proud to highlight MaryAnn Brooks and the incredible work happening at 3 Sisters Equine Refuge. MaryAnn shared: “I’ve been deeply involved in the horse industry for nearly three decades, and the care, welfare, and dignity of these animals have always been at the heart of my work from my own personal horses to the ones at multiple rescues. Currently I find my weekends filled with caring for the horses at 3 Sisters Equine Refuge. Their commitment to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming horses at risk—while restoring hope through compassionate care and training—reflects the values I’ve upheld throughout my life. Supporting equine welfare isn’t just a passion; it’s a lifelong responsibility I take seriously.” Thank you, MaryAnn, for your commitment to animal welfare and for embodying the spirit of service that defines our HMA community! HMA is proud to match donations year-round to eligible nonprofit organizations, and we are pleased to make an additional contribution in honor of MaryAnn to 3 Sisters Equine Refuge. #CharitySpotlight #GivingBack #3SistersEquineRefuge #GivingTuesday 

Food Lifeline is a remarkable organization that works tirelessly to provide thousands of people throughout Western Washington with access to food each day, directly supporting those living with food insecurity. Today, we’re excited to put the spotlight on Don Reese and his team for their ongoing commitment to fighting hunger through Food Lifeline. Don shared: “My team recently volunteered at Food Lifeline. This is the second time we have done so, and it definitely won’t be the last. It’s a lot of physical work dividing up large amounts of food into smaller boxes that can be more easily distributed—but it’s worth it knowing the impact we’re making for our neighbors in need.” And here’s a fun tidbit—Don’s team has dubbed themselves “Reese’s Pieces,” and they’re going strong! 🍬 (Fun fact: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups was voted the top candy among HMA-ers. Looks like they picked the perfect name!) Thank you, Don and team, for your leadership, energy, and dedication to giving back. #CharitySpotlight #FoodLifeline #Volunteering #FoodEquity 

Today we are excited to spotlight Sarah Ball, MFA, CSFS® and the Nisqually Valley Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 5580, an organization devoted to supporting military veterans and their families. 🏍️ Every summer, Sarah and her family take part in the Military Heroes Car Show. Last summer, Sarah entered her bike in the competition to help honor veterans and show her support. Thank you, Sarah, for honoring our military heroes and sharing your story. HMA is proud to match donations year-round to eligible nonprofit organizations, and we are pleased to make an additional contribution in honor of Sarah! #CharitySpotlight #MilitaryHeroes #CommunitySupport 

Being people forward is more than a motto—it’s reflected in the meaningful actions we take every day. Today we are shining a spotlight on Ty Harrington and the Alzheimer's Association®, a leading national organization committed to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support, and research. Their signature event, the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, brings together communities to fight Alzheimer’s and all other forms of dementia. This cause was especially meaningful to Ty, who shared: “Having had family members and loved ones affected by the disease, participating in the walk allowed me to honor their memory while helping advance research, care programs, and advocacy that brought us closer to a cure.” Thank you, Ty, for your dedication to this important cause and for sharing your story! HMA is proud to match donations year-round to eligible nonprofit organizations, and we are pleased to make an additional contribution in honor of Ty to the Alzheimer’s Association. #CharitySpotlight #AlzheimersAwareness
